(c) BASSANOVA by BRIAN MACDUCKSTON

Like ramen? Want to visit Japan? If your answer to both is "Yes" and you have the time and money, New York - Tokyo is offering two tour packages that will surely satisfy your desires.

NYT GO is New York - Tokyo's new project to promote a global lifestyle following the "design your trip" approach. NYT GO is self explanatory with no tour guide. Each participant would know what they want for themselves before the trip and will take care of themselves.

NYT GO: RAMEN is NYT GO's first trial. With the recent global popularity of Ramen, the tour's first destination is Tokyo. Tokyo is the origin of Ramen. The "mecca" has over 5,000 Ramen shops. The tour is an economical and smart 7 day trip for the busy, creative, and urban youth. With visits to various key points such as the Raumen Museum and other locations with the tour group, you will also have plenty of free time on your designed trip!
