At Ichiran, the main branch is best served in a private room. There are also small tables, perfect for solo travelers or those who prefer to avoid awkward situations. The ramen is cooked to order, and every bite is filled with the essence of the rich tonkotsu broth.

They also have limited-time limited-edition goods, making it a must-see for ramen lovers.

Even on an ordinary weekday afternoon, the streets of Fukuoka are peaceful and tranquil, free from the rush of the city. Whether rain or shine, amidst modern buildings and cozy old streets, a stroll evokes a sense of tranquility and ease. For those who enjoy taking photos, we recommend taking time to capture the moments outside ramen shops and in front of surrounding buildings. The lights and the city atmosphere are especially soothing at night.
