¥1,000 per bowl · free park entry
Fuji-Q Highland is gathering six popular ramen shops from around Japan for the FUJI-Q Ramen Festival 2026 (FUJI-Q ラーメンまつり2026), held from Friday, November 13 to Sunday, November 15, 2026. The park charges no admission, so you can come just to eat. Each bowl costs ¥1,000 (tax included) with a ramen ticket.
This is the third year the park has run a ramen event inside its grounds. New for 2026 is a ramen rally that ties bowls to the rides, with an original ice cream and a ride priority ticket among the rewards.

Tips for a smooth visit
- Buy tickets early. Ticket booths open an hour before serving starts each day, so you can be first in line when the counters open.
- Saturday has the longest window. On November 14, ramen is served until 19:30, an hour later than on Friday and Sunday.
- Want the priority ticket? Don’t wait too long. The Zekkyo Yusen-ken is planned for only the first 200 people each day, and you need two bowls plus the survey.
- Plan one ride for the Kenki Ice. The rally needs one attraction. The announcement only lists One-Day Pass prices, so check the official site for other ride options.
- Check payment options before you go. The announcement does not say which payment methods the ticket booths accept.
- Driving? Beer is on sale, so decide who drives before you start drinking.
- Keep your phone charged. A long day of queues drains batteries; our guide to free ChargeSPOT rentals with d VALUE PASS explains one way to top up for free in Japan.
