Comments from the planner

I have a deep passion for cherry blossoms. Every spring, I enjoy Hanami at least three times with my family, friends, and colleagues. Since starting this tour, I have shared this beautiful tradition with our guests more than 100 times. I created this experience because I want you to do more than just take photos; I want you to truly immerse yourself in the authentic Japanese way of celebrating spring. Our ‘hidden’ mission is to ‘Save the Sakura Refugees!’. Cherry blossoms are incredibly delicate, with the famous Somei Yoshino variety usually blooming for only 7 to 10 days. We feel it is our calling to guide travelers who might have missed the official peak bloom to special early or late-blooming spots. You never have to worry about the timing when you are with us. Let’s eat, drink, and enjoy the joy of Osaka-style Hanami together! (Kenji)

Private & Small Group Tours Just for You!

We are available for private tours and tour arrangements! We welcome small groups such as families and groups of friends!

FAQ

Typically, the peak bloom in Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo is between March 28 and April 8. However, this varies annually depending on the weather. On our tour, we scout early and late-blooming spots, allowing you to enjoy Hanami from approximately March 15 to April 20. Please note that the meeting point within Osaka city may change to ensure we take you to the best possible location on that day.
Together with your guide, you’ll stop by a local shop to pick out a tasty local brunch, such as Onigiri (rice balls), sandwiches, and seasonal Japanese treats, so you can customize it to your taste. For drinks, we offer a generous selection, including sake, beer, and whiskey, as well as coffee, tea, and soft drinks, all enjoyed while relaxing under the cherry blossoms.
No special preparation is necessary; you can simply join us empty-handed. We guide you to a local shop to choose your brunch together, and handle the rest of the setup for your comfort, providing everything from picnic mats to a small table. If you are traveling with family, we even bring toys to keep your children entertained. Additionally, if the weather is a bit chilly, we recommend dressing warmly.
If it rains, we will provide a walking tour with umbrellas through beautiful Sakura areas. While we will not hold the outdoor picnic, we will instead host the brunch at a charming local café where you can still enjoy views of the cherry blossoms.

Yes, we certainly can. We offer tailor-made Hanami plans customized to your budget, group size, and specific needs. In addition to Osaka, we can also arrange these experiences in Kyoto. Please feel free to contact us to discuss a personalized itinerary for your group.
