As the cherry trees didˋnt bloom, there was no Cherry Blossom Festival. But the walk with Yappy and Motoko was funny and interesting. We learned about Sakura, tasted specialties around Sakura and had a nice dinner. We recommend this tour.

Awesome experience. We were able to get to know an area of Tokyo that's not too touristy which was really nice. We ate lots of local food while getting to know things about what it's like in daily life in Tokyo. We also got told useful tips about how to have the best experience while traveling in Japan.

2025 Cherry Blossoms Hanami Food Tour in Yanaka (Tokyo)

Food Tours

Our Hanami evening tour with Haruka was fantastic! Firstly in the early evening while it was still light out we stopped off at a local store to have some sweet snacks, and we then strolled along the river. It was so beautiful, so many cherry blossoms right at the peak of blooming. Next we went to a local bar to eat some pork skewers and seaweed (typical food from the region). By now it was evening and dark outside, however all the trees in the area were lit up so you could see the cherry blossoms. We joined the walking hanami after a glass of celebratory champagne, then ate a good luck fish shaped pastry to end the evening. I highly recommend this tour! It was such a lovely evening. This food tour was absolutely a highlight of our trip to Japan and so we regretted not booking more byFood tours while we were there.

What a great tour! The beautiful cherry blossoms illuminated by traditional lanterns along the riverside was a wonderful sight, a definite must see. We had Ryan as our guide. He speaks perfect English and is really friendly, and extremely knowledgable. I'm really glad we did the tour on the first day of our trip because we could ask him lots of questions so we learned a lot of things about Tokyo and Japanese culture, and recommendations for the rest of our trip.

We had one of the best guides ever, she was lots of fun and incredibly knowledgable. We saw several places with lots of cherry blossoms (sakura), I think we must have been lucky to go in peak time! We went to lots of little shops along the way and ate as we walked through the street. We tried lots of local food stopping at her favorite shops. Clearly our guide just loves Tokyo and definitely made sure that she passed on her enthusiasm. She gave us plenty of good ideas of things to do ourside of the tour, recommending activities etc as well. She also did a great job looking after our interests and food preferences as well as food allergies.

2025 Cherry Blossoms Hanami Food Tour in Yanaka (Tokyo)

Food Tours

The culture of Japan moves in time with the seasons, and the world of food and drink is no different. When spring arrives and the the sakura trees bloom, picnickers take to the parks with their bento boxes and bottles of umeshu plum wine. At the summer festivals, cold noodle dishes and unique citrus fruits are served to beat the heat.

Then, as the leaves turn to their autumnal shades in fall, warm dishes packed with mushrooms and root vegetables come to the fore. And with winter, you’ll find the pots of warm oden stew simmering on the countertops of every izakaya worth its salt.

To understand traditional Japanese cuisine, you have to tune into all these seasonal changes, and the special ingredients that come and go throughout the year. Joining one of these seasonal tours in Japan is the perfect way to experience the unique charms of the season, whether it’s a hanami party under the cherry blossoms or a foraging hike through a snow-covered forest.
