Description
Sakura season is short, lasting about one month from the first tiny buds to the finish of the season, with the peak lasting about two weeks. It is impossible to predict the exact best dates each year, but for the first time, we are offering this limited-edition Osaka tour in the time period most famous for hanami! With our guide, learn about the history of the area, have lunch at a place loved by residents, taste seasonal specialties, and meet the friendly people living nearby. Karahori is the perfect mix of nostalgia and modern trends, and is simply a fun district where you can get a taste of both the old and the new. Discover a completely different side of Osaka. Far 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. This tour is an unexpected chance to appreciate the beauty of the cherry blossoms with the locals while “eating” your way through backstreets, secret gardens, and much more!
