What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A representative tonkotsu ramen shop in Kurume founded in 1958. Famous for its Showa-era retro exterior and interior along National Route 3. Said to be Japan's first 24-hour ramen restaurant (now closes at 21:00). Only 2 direct stores (main + Zendoji branch). Nationally renowned as a legendary shop in the birthplace of Kurume tonkotsu.

Tabelog 3.69/1,261 reviews, Tripadvisor 4.0 (#3 in Kurume). The tonkotsu broth consumed inside the preserved Showa-era restaurant is described as 'time has stopped here.' Beloved by tourists and locals alike. Called 'unmissable when visiting Kurume' - one of the original Kurume ramen spots.
