    If you've been to the Cup Noodles Museum in Yokohama, the Osaka Ikeda location is definitely worth adding to your list too! This is the birthplace of instant noodles, and you can design your very own Cup Noodles by hand. From drawing on the cup to choosing the soup base and toppings, every step is a lot of fun. Once you're done, you get to take home a one-of-a-kind cup noodle.

    Even though I visited on a weekday, it was still packed with tourists, which really shows how popular it is. There are also lots of interactive exhibits inside where you can learn about the story behind the invention of instant noodles. Both adults and kids can have a great time here.

    I highly recommend adding this stop to a family trip. It's not only fun, but you also get to create your own special travel souvenir!

    For Cup Noodles fans, visiting the Nissin Cup Noodles Museum should be an experience that fully delights all five senses. From the building to the souvenirs, even the manhole covers feature the little yellow chick.

    When you come to the Cup Noodles “kingdom,” you of course have to make your own cup noodles. Everything from decorating the cup to creating your own flavor really brings out your inner child.

    I also learned that Momofuku Ando was actually from Chiayi, Taiwan. His inspiring life story made the visit even more uplifting.

    There were way too many people trying the cup noodle-making experience. I ended up spending over three hours, which felt like a bit of a waste of time.
