A key to the success of food theme parks in Japan, a country of gourmets, is the fact that dishes are not just prepared by anybody, but by reputable restaurants. Accordingly, prices are not cheap (calculate 1000-2000 yen per person). Note also that information in English tends to be limited.

Below is a list of some of the food theme parks in the Tokyo and Yokohama area:

	Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum 5-10 minute walk from Shin-Yokohama Station Hours: Daily 11:00 to 22:00 (longer hours on some days) Admission: 300 yen The Ramen Museum introduces the history of ramen and features about a dozen ramen stores with regional flavors from across Japan in a setting of Tokyo in the 1950s, the time when ramen gained popularity.
	Jiyugaoka Sweets Forest 5 minute from Jiyugaoka Station, Tokyu Toyoko Line Hours: Daily 10:00 to 20:00 Admission: Free Sweets Forest in the pleasant city district of Jiyugaoka specializes in various, mostly Western style sweets, such as cakes and ice cream. There are about half a dozen stands operated by famous patissiers.
