Top Japan Cherry Blossom

The springtime “sakura” season in Kyoto is best celebrated with a personal guide to show you the best spots for “hanami,” or cherry blossom viewing. In local style you’ll head off the tourist trail and join traditional festivities. Feast on typical Japanese snacks and seasonal dishes with a picnic under the drifting blossoms. Then experience “yozakura”— nighttime blossom-viewing of weeping cherry trees illuminated against the sky.

Escape the crowds on land and see the beauty of Tokyo’s cherry blossoms from a different vantage point aboard a traditional yakatabune boat.

A beef sukiyaki dinner, tea ceremony and sweets, or sushi and sake lunch are provided depending on your ticket.

Along with Kyoto, Tokyo is the place with the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan. Because of the bigness of the city, you can enjoy various types of cherry blossom viewing. It is not possible in other cities! Our tour takes you to various cherry blossom viewing spots that represent Tokyo; cherry blossoms in rich landscapes such as Ueno Park, Chidoriga-fuchi Moat, or in historical gardens such as Rikugien Gardens and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, and beautifully lit cherry blossoms such as Nakameguro and Chidorigafuchi. Through cherry blossoms, you will also learn about the city of Tokyo. We plan to visit 12 places. But the number of places may increase or decrease depending on the wishes of all participants. The places we visit may change depending on the cherry blossom conditions. We may extend the stay at a favorite place. In case of rain, we will change the schedule, such as the lunch location.

This isn’t just a stroll through cherry blossoms—it’s a personalized journey through Kanazawa’s most beautiful spring spots, guided by a local who knows where the sakura bloom brightest beyond the usual paths. From serene gardens to quiet riversides, your host shares stories, local tips, and spontaneous moments that make the experience feel like exploring with a friend. You’ll also pause for a traditional Japanese picnic beneath the blossoms—a seasonal ritual enjoyed by locals during hanami. Relax with a hand-prepared bento or sushi set, sweets, and drinks while soaking up the fleeting beauty of the season. After booking, you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, we’ll match you with a like-minded host who’ll reach out directly to suggest a flexible, personalized itinerary shaped around your pace and preferences.
