What other travelers are saying about Asahikawa Ramen Village
A small little area which houses around 10 or so ramen restaurants. Id suggest you walk around and see which one attracts you the most. We went for the Tenkin ramen which specialises in shoyu style butter ramen. Absolutely delicious broth. Quite flavourful and salty too.
When I first arrived, I was a bit surprised — I had imagined the place to be much bigger. It turned out to be just one building with several ramen shops inside. But honestly, it was really cute! We went into one of the ramen places — it even has a Michelin star! The food was amazing; having a bowl of hot ramen on a cold day was just perfect.
After that, we stopped by the restroom, and right nearby there was a cozy café. We grabbed some Hokkaido milk coffee — it wasn’t expensive, and the staff were super friendly. The restroom was clean too, and there was even a small photo spot to take pictures.
Around the Ramen Village, there were lots of shops to explore, so we ended up spending quite a bit of time there. I’d say it’s totally worth a visit — good food, nice vibes, and a bit of shopping all in one place. ☕🍥🛍️

I really wanted to like what was available, I picked the store with the longest line. The miso ramen was unremarkable, more
Garlicky and mildly spicy than having a strong miso flavour. The soup was oily rather than well emulsified. Points for being generous but it was not worth the calories.
I ate in one of their stores... It was just not bad.. personally for me, I have tried other stores in the vicinity that also taste better than here.
It is a nice visit to see the village and there is surrounding clothes store and grocery shopping around here.
Asahikawa ramen is distinguished by its rich, soy sauce-based broth, which is typically mixed with pork, chicken, and sometimes seafood to create a complex and flavorful soup. Another characteristic feature is the layer of oil on top of the broth, which helps retain its warmth, making it especially enjoyable in Hokkaido's cold climate. The noodles used are usually thin and curly.
While traditional Asahikawa ramen is meat-based, some shops within the village may offer vegetarian or vegan options. However, these options might not always be available, so it is recommended to inquire directly with the individual shops or look for information online before visiting.
Yes, Asahikawa Ramen Village is a family-friendly destination. The casual dining atmosphere and the universal appeal of ramen make it a great place for visitors of all ages, including children.
