Is China's travel warning affecting Tokyo's popular Ichiran ramen? Despite the advisory, Shinjuku branches still see queues, suggesting limited impact on this must-try dining spot.
Despite a recent travel advisory from China, Ichiran ramen in Shinjuku remains popular. Expect wait times, especially at the Shinjuku Central East Exit, where a 40-minute wait is still common during peak hours.
However, the Nishi-Shinjuku branch offers a slightly shorter wait of around 20 minutes. While fewer Chinese tourists were observed, the ramen chain continues to draw a diverse crowd, including locals.
For travelers craving Ichiran's tonkotsu ramen, be prepared for potential queues, particularly at the East Exit location. The Nishi-Shinjuku branch might offer a quicker option, but the experience remains a popular culinary stop.
