Experience Details
Sakura season is short; it's only about one month, from when the buds first appear until the flowers fall, with peak cherry blossom time being about two weeks long. It's impossible to predict the exact dates these flowers will bloom, but it doesn't mean you should try to catch them if you're visiting Japan in the spring.
This seasonal food tour is a gateway to the heart of Osaka, taking you through its beloved neighborhoods. With a knowledgeable guide leading the way, you'll gain insights into the city's history, enjoy a lunch spot favored by residents, savor seasonal specialties, and forge connections with the friendly locals who embody the true spirit of Osaka.
Karahori offers a perfect mix of nostalgia and modern trends and is a fun district where you can taste both the old and the new. See a completely different side of Osaka!
Wander away from the neon lights of Dotonbori, the rustic charm of Shinsekai, or the skyscrapers of Umeda; this tour takes you to a beloved and unchanging neighborhood. Consider it an unexpected chance to appreciate the beauty of the cherry blossoms with the locals while eating your way through backstreets, secret gardens and more.
