As you stroll along the blossom-covered canal, let your senses come alive—the sweet fragrance of sakura petals drifting on the breeze, the lively hum of festival-goers, and the warm glow of paper lanterns reflecting in the water. Along the way, taste delicious seasonal street food, from grilled yakitori skewers and crispy tempura to sakura-flavored mochi and pink-hued sparkling sake. Friendly locals fill the streets, adding to the festive atmosphere, making this one of the most joyful springtime traditions in Tokyo.After some time exploring the vibrant restaurant and shopping district, we head off to a special regional dinner at a cozy izakaya, where you’ll enjoy dishes paired with fun drinks and surprising flavors—the perfect way to toast to Tokyo’s most spectacular cherry blossom season.

For Vegetarians:

Some food that we serve may have dashi, a soup stock made from kelp (seaweed) and bonito (skipjack tuna) as well as other ingredients. Dashi is the cornerstone of Japanese cuisine and is used in many/most Japanese dishes. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate your dietary needs if you cannot consume dashi.

If you cannot consume Dashi, we recommend booking a private tour with us and we can offer some alternatives. Again, be aware, it will still be a challenge to 100% avoid fish stock.
