Delve into Kyoto's cherished hanami tradition with a local guide, exploring hidden sakura spots beyond typical tourist paths. Begin at the tranquil Maruyama Park, famous for its cherry blossoms, where you'll experience hanami in a serene setting, away from the crowds.

Next, venture to Kyoto Gyoen National Garden, a less-visited gem where cherry trees bloom in quiet elegance, offering a calm retreat from city life.

The adventure continues at Daimaru's depachika, an underground food paradise. Here, choose a delightful obento, adorned with sakura-themed delicacies, under your guide's expert eye.

Conclude with a hanami picnic at a secluded spot, perhaps within the garden or another hidden gem nearby. Under the cherry blossom canopy, savor your meal, enriched with stories and cultural insights from your host.

This experience offers an authentic immersion into Kyoto’s springtime allure, providing a deeper understanding and appreciation of the hanami culture in Japan's ancient capital.

    We had the pleasure of having Jose as our guide for a day tour around Kyoto. He showed us all the popular tourist spots, beautiful cherry blossoms, and even some hidden gems. Jose is a laid-back, friendly guy with a deep love for the city. If you're looking for a relaxed day filled with great sights alongside a down-to-earth guide, Jose is the perfect choice!

  • Great walking tour and lovely hanami picnic!

    Guide Afifa did a great job, she really personalised the tour for me and found me pink cherry blossoms as I'd asked! She took me to some cool places and really brought the history of the Gion district to life for me, I really enjoyed her choice to take me to Nishiki market to get food for hanami picnic, and I loved the hanami picnic experience by the river, though the park would have been a fab alternative as well if river was not an option.

  • Fantastic

    Our guide, Eva, was very nice and talkative about life and traditions in Japan. We learned a lot about Japanese culture while walking around hidden places in Kyoto. We enjoyed that she showed us hidden, non touristy spots around Kyoto. We had a great day with great local food at the end 👍 Thanks a lot

    Great guide. I enjoyed my time walking around the city with him. Highly recommend the guide. I don't highly recommend this review process where I have to type in so muck. 1 star for the review process. :-(
