Offered in: English

Experience a private cherry blossom tour through Inokashira Park and Zenpukuji Park, two of Tokyo’s most peaceful local spots for hanami. Away from crowded tourist areas, you’ll explore neighborhoods where locals gather to celebrate the sakura season.

This tour is more than just flower viewing. You’ll learn about the cultural meaning of sakura and how hanami became one of Japan’s most beloved spring traditions while gaining insight into Japanese customs and everyday life. Enjoy a seasonal bento picnic under the cherry blossoms and experience hanami the way locals do — sharing food, conversation, and the beauty of the moment beneath the pink petals.
You’ll also stroll through the charming streets of Kichijoji, one of Tokyo’s most vibrant neighborhoods known for its cozy shops and relaxed atmosphere. As a fully private experience, the tour is flexible and tailored to your pace and interests.

Please inform us of any food allergies or dietary restrictions at least 3 days before the tour.
