Hanami is the traditional Japanese custom of enjoying cherry blossoms in spring. It involves gathering under blooming sakura trees to appreciate their beauty, reflect on the fleeting nature of life, and celebrate the season with friends, family, or colleagues.

What happens if the cherry blossoms are not in full bloom?

Cherry blossom timing varies each year and cannot be guaranteed. If the blossoms are not at peak bloom, the experience will still take place, focusing on scenic walks, seasonal atmosphere, and cultural highlights while your local host adapts the route to showcase the best available viewing spots.

What if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?

Please inform us of any dietary restrictions or allergies at the time of booking, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

What should I wear or bring?

Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers, as spring weather can change quickly. Bring a camera for photos, and carry a travel card or a small amount of cash, as public transportation may be used during the experience.

Is transportation included?

Public transportation fees are not included in the price. Your local guide will assist you with navigating public transportation during the experience.

Can I bring children on the tour?

Yes, children are welcome. Please note that this is a walking experience and may not be suitable for very young or less mobile children. Contact us before booking if you have any concerns.

A stone arched monument stands in a peaceful park surrounded by green trees and manicured hedges under a sky with pink clouds. Flowers and offerings are placed at the base of the monument.
