What you can expect

SPECIAL LIMITED SEASONAL TOUR- Explore the local shops and the historic area around Demachiyanagi area of Kyoto for the feeling of true Hanami.

Available March 27th-April 15th, 2026, the true Hanami spirit during Cherry Blossom season in Kyoto can be found away from some of the busier areas, and instead exploring temples, gardens, and shrines (both big and small).

Step into the magic of Kyoto’s cherry blossom season away from the crowds, where the true spirit of Hanami unfolds under delicate pink petals in serene, hidden corners of the city. This evening walking tour takes you outside the usual tourist paths and into the charming Demachiyanagi district, where local traditions and flavours come alive beneath the blooming sakura trees.

As you stroll through peaceful temples, tucked-away gardens, and historic shrines, let the beauty of spring in Japan set the mood. Wander through a vibrant Shotengai (local shopping arcade), where the scent of delicious food drifts through the air and friendly shopkeepers greet regulars with warm smiles. Here, you’ll taste seasonal treats and local specialities, savouring Kyoto’s spring flavours just as the locals do.

Next, enjoy an outdoor Hanami-style tasting with light bites and a sip of sake or a refreshing local drink, letting the crisp spring air heighten each delicate flavour. As the evening deepens, we’ll guide you to a beloved local restaurant, where handmade dishes, rich broths, and perfectly paired side dishes create an unforgettable dining experience. The seasonal menu highlights Kyoto’s best springtime ingredients, offering a true taste of the region.

To end the night on a sweet note, indulge in a locally renowned, traditional dessert, a perfect final bite to a night filled with flavour, history, and the timeless beauty of Kyoto’s sakura season.

Escape the crowds and immerse yourself in an authentic cherry blossom experience, where Kyoto’s culinary heritage and breathtaking spring scenery blend into an evening you’ll never forget.

Join us for an unforgettable Hanami adventure.
