For an entire 2 weeks, we gorged ourselves on instant noodles while cruising on the Trans-Siberian railways through Mongolia and Russia...

So as you can imagine, we HAD to make a pilgrimage to the Instant Ramen Noodle Museum. It's an easy train ride to Ikeda from Osaka.

It was a fun-filled afternoon learning the the amazing legacy of instant cuisine as well as taking the cooking class to make our very own chicken flavoured noodles.

Make sure you book if you want to do the cooking class – we were lucky that they had 2 spots left in the class. It's well worth doing!

"Great staff! Everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They allowed us to check in early. It was super convenient. Rooms were huge and spacious. Many places to eat near the hotel. Most important they have a massage spot next door. They were amazing. "

"Really good sized rooms compared to others I have stayed in in Japan. Really clean and comfortable. Staff all lovely. Only negative thing I will comment on is the doors slam shut and with a lot of force. This is incredibly noisy. The hotel in general is so nice and quiet but the doors are ridiculously loud. If they had soft shutting it would be perfect. However the rest of the hotel was so good I’d definitely stay again. "

"Great location, 2 min walk to metro station line to explore Osaka. 10 min walk to restaurants and bars. Hotel rooms are a good size, comfortable beds, amazing sky spa. The hotel is lacking a bar, or snack food and restaurant was very expensive and lacked any vegetarian food exceot pizza. "
