2024 Osaka Cherry Blossom Food Tour

Forget about the crowded parks and overtired sakura spots, and join us on an authentic cherry blossom tour of the Karahori district of Osaka, a little-known gem where the old soul of the city lives to this day. Mingle with the locals as you walk the maze-like backstreets while sampling treats and beverages. The tour will conclude in a secret spot (hint: there will be shrines and cherry blossoms!). Here, you will sit down, have some snacks, and enjoy the mesmerizing pink scenery with your guide. Sakura season is famously short — lasting only about one month from when the first buds sprout and peaking approximately two weeks in. It is impossible to predict the exact dates when the blossoms will bloom, so this cherry blossom tour of Osaka will be available for a limited time only (from March 18th to April 10th, 2024, excluding Sundays). Delve into the history of Karahori, have lunch at a local joint, taste seasonal specialties, and meet the friendly people living nearby while enjoying the little pink flowers that take Japan by storm. Karahori is a fun district, both modern and nostalgic, where you can discover a completely different side of Osaka, far from the neon lights of Dotonbori, the rustic charm of Shinsekai, and the skyscrapers of Umeda. This tour takes you to a beloved and unchanging area, and is a rare chance to appreciate the beauty of the cherry blossoms with the locals while “eating” your way through backstreets, secret gardens, and much more!
