An amazing evening with Clara as our guide. She gave us a detailed description of Japanese culture and all traditions around Sakura. We enjoyed street food and a dinner in a local restaurant. The cherry blossoms where out of this world. Fabulous environment along the canal. A very festive evening. We loved it! Arigato gozaimasu !

The tour was the perfect start to my time in Japan (having landed in the morning after a long flight from Germany) 👍 It was a super fun and relaxed time, hitting up different food stands and the choice of the izakaya at the end was perfect. Plus learning about the area, hanamis and different types of Sakura as well as comparable blossoms. Shizuka was the perfect and most gracious, bubbly and down-to-earth host, and it was so much fun to get to know her in person after watching all of the videos. She gave great food recommendations and also encouraged us to be adventurous and try some not so common items. I overall just can highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the Sakura blossom in a lovely neighbourhood with small city vibes and having a great and fun time with the perfect guide 🌸🫶😊

We had a wonderful evening with Ryo (our photographer) and Hasegawa-San at his exclusive restaurant! Hasegawa-San and his staff were very accommodating with our dietary restrictions (we are vegetarian), and cooked up a masterful 8 course dinner ! The dinner was tasty, and my family loved the whole experience! Afterwards, even though we were early for the sakura (they hadn’t bloomed yet), Ryo-San found us a couple of trees that had blossomed and took some beautiful pictures! I recommend the tour highly- thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience!
