Description

Celebrate Tokyo’s most iconic season with a private cherry blossom tour designed just for you. With a local host by your side, you’ll explore the city’s most scenic Sakura spots and enjoy a relaxed hanami picnic that captures the spirit of spring in Japan. Once booked, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to help us match you with the perfect host—someone who’ll tailor the route to your pace, interests, and curiosity. Begin your experience in Ueno Park, where your host will guide you along tranquil paths lined with delicate blossoms—far from the crowds. Then, wander through the serene beauty of Yanaka Cemetery, where Sakura trees arch over historic gravestones, offering a reflective and uniquely local hanami setting. Next, make your way to the temple-dotted district of Asakusa, where Tokyo’s cultural heritage blends beautifully with blooming trees. Pause at a lively depachika to hand-pick seasonal delights—a Sakura-themed bento box, Japanese sweets, and refreshing drinks. Your journey concludes at Sumida Park, where panoramic views of cherry blossoms and the city skyline create the perfect backdrop for a traditional hanami picnic. As you relax under the trees, your host will share stories about the meaning of hanami, local customs, and the fleeting beauty of Sakura season. This is more than a tour—it’s a once-a-year celebration, shared with a local who brings Tokyo’s springtime magic to life.
