While most visitors search for ramen in tourist hotspots, your tour takes you to Ichijoji, a hidden gem known among locals as Kyoto’s “Ramen Battleground.” Here, within a few blocks, you'll find some of the most creative, flavorful, and beloved ramen shops in the entire country.

You’ll visit two carefully selected ramen spots, each with its own story, style, and devoted fanbase. With a local ramen expert guiding the way, you’ll skip the guesswork, avoid the language barrier, and dive straight into bowls you might never have discovered on your own.

Ichijoji isn’t just about eating—it’s about connection: to Kyoto’s student culture, to ramen history, and to the proud shop owners who pour their passion into every steaming bowl.

If you're a true ramen lover, this tour offers something no guidebook can: authentic discovery, one unforgettable slurp at a time.
