Pickup points and meeting tips
- Hankyu Ikeda Station is a few minutes' walk from the Cupnoodles Museum and is the natural meeting point.
- For airport transfers, Ikeda hotels are close to Itami's terminals.
- School groups should agree on a drop-off point on the main road near the museum rather than its doorstep.
- Satsukiyama Park is uphill; meet at the lower entrance unless using a small vehicle.
Vehicle access
The museum area is in a compact town centre where streets are narrow and congested on school holidays. Vans can drop close by; coaches usually use a nearby main road or pre-arranged bus parking.
Museum-area streets can be congested on school holidays.
Luggage
If you are flying from Itami right after the museum, a van or minibus works for light luggage; groups with many large cases need a coach with a hold.
