We enjoyed having our own personal tour guide (Keiko) to show us places we might have missed if we were on our own, especially the small shops on the quiet back roads. Good selection of food choices in Yanaka Ginza--we were stuffed at the end. We also appreciated small touches such as our guide providing a bag for our trash and hand wipes for our sticky hands. Overall, the pacing and time allotted for this tour was just right.

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 🌸🫶😊
