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!

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Rooms are compact but more than adequate. "

The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"Having stayed at a hotel near Tokyo DIsneyland last week, this hotel was a vast improvement in the way of convenience and location. Walking out of the train station and seeing everything was great. There are 3 Lawsons and a 7-11 between the station and the entrance to Universal Studios. There is only one washer dryer on each floor so I had to go 4 floors below my own to find a washer dryer that was available. The staff helped us with luggage forwarding. It was so great to walk 5 minutes to the hotel after a long day at Universal."
