Description

Sakura season is short, about one month from the first tiny buds to the finish of the season with the peak being about two weeks. It is impossible to predict exact dates each year but we will be offering this limited edition tour in the time period most famous for hanami time. With our guide, learn about the history of the area, the meaning and reason behind the sakura season, and taste local specialties that are bound to be pleasing to the eye and to the palate. We will try local snacks. And enjoy a special hanami seasonal bento. Homemade rice balls and other local specialties are on the menu! The Yanaka neighborhood is a festive one that celebrates both its many visitors and the day-to-day lives of local citizens. It is also famous for more than 100 temples and shrines which give this place a special spirit. During the tour, we will spend time along several small streets and end up in a gorgeous area famous for cherry trees — and *cats?!* At the end of the tour, we will share the local style of a hanami stroll, and a visit to a famous temple.
