Not Even the Rain Could Dull This Sakura Experience

Courtney_J, Apr 2026

We managed to arrive to Tokyo at the perfect time for Sakura season, but our walking tour did fall on a moderately rainy day. So, I was impressed with our guide’s commitment to making the best of our tour despite the weather. Nao kept our spirits positive, informed us about the beauty and reason for the season, and took us to some great stopping points for pictures. Even when the wind picked up on the last 15 mins of our walk, and our energy was draining, Nao made sure everyone stayed safe and wished us well as we departed from the end of the tour (Nao-san, arigato gozaimasu)! The Meguro River location is a great spot for viewing the sakuras, and on a sunny day, you can get some nice food from one of the many food stall vendors along the path.

Good excursion

Richard_O, Mar 2026

Our guide, Terry, lives in the area so he was very knowledgeable about it. Very personable. We enjoyed the experience.

Beautiful Blossoms

Martin_M, Mar 2025

Great way to see blossoms in mass flowing over a river. Also the information the guide gave about the area was very informable. Also he had a very good sense of humor and very personable.

Review of guided Japan walking tour.

The information about Tokyo the guide I was able to provide. Also the hotel Gajoen Which we were able to see. Our guide with both personable and very knowledgeable about Tokyo and spoke excellent English. This tour may have well been the highlight of our trip to Japan

James_T, Apr 2024

Terry was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Although cherry blossoms weren’t in bloom, the tour was still worthwhile.

Viator will be hearing from me and potentially attorney.

Davidbedrick, Mar 2024

Worst experience with this last tour. Up until then they had been great. The resolution was awful and I will be contacting them to further dispute the issue.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for choosing our tour. We suggested that whether or not you join the tour was up to you. We already updated the cherry blossoms were not ready at this time before you came to this tour. However, you chose to come to this tour. That is your decision. And then, you left our groups about 10 minutes after this tour started while saying that it is pointless without cherry blossoms. Anyone was listening to your saying. Our clients felt very uncomfortable although they finally had a good time with our guide. We hope you will watch cherry blossoms soon in Japan. Terry The rep

A nice walk to see the cherry blossoms.

Vira_S, May 2023

We had such a good time. So many wonderful cherry blossom sites. Our guide was terrific and took us on a nice walk by the river. Thank you for such a lovely day!

Overall a great walking tour to see cherry blossoms along the river in beautiful weather

Haydee_J, Apr 2023

This was one of the first tours I went on in Tokyo for our first day and first time in Japan. I was traveling with my teenage daughter and this Walking Tour Cherry Blossoms Along the Meguro River was really great. Terry was our tour guide and he spoke English. He would speak to the group, take pictures, and ask us if we had any questions about Tokyo so it was very helpful having him as a guide. Also, he gave ur a Tour Guide of Tokyo which really helped for our first time. It gave very useful information. Although the cherry blossoms had already reached its peak and they were very few in that area it was still an enjoyable walk and we did get some good pictures with the cherry blossom trees that we came across. Overall, I would do this tour again.

Brief blossoms and a wonderful guide

vanessa_c, Apr 2023

What a great experience? Despite the weather, which threatened to downpour given the angry looking skies, and the fact that it was the tail end of cherry blossom season, our guide Nao ensured we saw all the pivotal spots on our 90 minute tour. He kept us at a moderate pace and took time to take our group's photo. He was knowledgeable, kind and funny. Maybe it was our blended group of nine or his general way, but we all had fun. The weather held up just as we got to our final point, where Nao again showed us another beautiful location. It was time well spent.

Interessante, kurz und eine lohnenswerte Tour

Christian_E, Mar 2023

Es war eine interessante Tour und informativ. Unser Guide Micky war aufmerksam und konnte viele coole Facts erzählen. Trotz Regen war es ein gutes Erlebnis.
