How ramen tickets work

Like most ramen festivals in Japan, you do not pay at each stall. You buy ramen tickets first and hand one over for each bowl.

  • One ticket gets you one bowl of ramen.
  • Advance tickets and same-day tickets are the same price: ¥1,000 per ticket, tax included.
  • Same-day tickets are sold at the venue.
  • You do not need a ticket just to walk around, watch the stage or browse.

Since the price does not change, buying in advance is really about convenience: you arrive with tickets already in hand. If you are still deciding how many bowls you can manage, a same-day ticket keeps you flexible.

Where to buy advance tickets

Advance tickets are on sale now through three channels.

Not sure which card to use for small purchases like this? Our guide to credit cards in Japan for foreigners covers which one to get first. Payment methods accepted at the venue itself are not listed in the announcement, so check the official site.

What else is on besides ramen

The main draw is ramen from well-known shops around Japan, each with its own regional style. Around the food, there is more aimed at families:

  • Stage events
  • Festival-style stalls and games (ennichi)
  • Merchandise sales

The press release does not name the participating shops or the stage program. The official event website is where the organizer posts details and updates.

This autumn series has already stopped in Hitachi (Ibaraki) in September and Takasaki (Gunma) in October. Kasukabe is the final round, so if you missed the earlier ones, this is the last chance this autumn.
