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!

"Such a fun treehouse to stay in. Wish they had more meal options so recommend you bring your own food and snacks."

"ワンちゃん2匹とお泊まりしたのですが、あいにく雨でした。オーナーさんが雨の日はサービスしていただけてカラオケ楽しみました。ワンちゃんとのカラオケは初めてでとっても良い思い出になりました。一日リフレッシュ出来たのでまた日常頑張れます。ありがとうございました。"

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Great 4-star hotel. Easy access to Namba Walk (underground shopping and restaurants) and other tourist attractions. VIP upgrade to the 30th floor (2nd highest) and 1pm checkout. The room size is adequate for Japan standard. The queen size has great back support. The AC is superb. The shower head is the most powerful sray we have ever seen. We need to place a wash cloth to hold it in place to avoid spinning. Two bottles of water are supplied everyday. Clean sheets every other day. Amenities included mouthwash for men and women. The lobby is on the 22nd floor and staff welcome us all times. Great stay and will stay again. "
