Ramen and Decorative Painting Workshop
in Miyagawa-cho, Kyoto’s Entertainment District

Miyagawa-cho in Kyoto is a town where the culture and history of the maiko and the geisha are still very much alive.
Located in this historic town is the Musoshin Ramen Academy, where you can practice decorative painting of ramen bowls and spoons and then enjoy making some ramen noodles too. This attractive facility is run by Musoshin, a popular ramen restaurant visited by around 6,000 people each month.
At the Musoshin Ramen Academy, you can try your hand at decorative painting of a ramen bowl, spoon, and apron. Then comes a full-on ramen-making session, taught by our skilled noodle chefs, after which you can sit down and enjoy a dish prepared with the ramen you made.
This experience will surely stand out as one of the highlights of your trip to Kyoto.
