As March draws to a close and the famous cherry blossoms are newly blooming, Japan’s festive mood is infectious. With a local host leading you down sakura-lined paths, shop for savory snacks and pastel pink mochi – Japanese confections – at the Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival in Maizuru Park, or head to a konbini supermarket and grab snacks for your makeshift picnic.
Head to one of Fukuoka’s most famous cherry blossom viewing spots like Nishi Park, where hundreds of families gather for hanami picnics under 1,300 trees, or, for an extra-memorable experience, take a 30-minute train ride to Uminonakamichi Seaside Park for a stroll under cherry blossom tunnels, views of multi-colored spring flower gardens, and a fresh ocean breeze.

We had the pleasure of having Jose as our guide for a day tour around Kyoto. He showed us all the popular tourist spots, beautiful cherry blossoms, and even some hidden gems. Jose is a laid-back, friendly guy with a deep love for the city. If you're looking for a relaxed day filled with great sights alongside a down-to-earth guide, Jose is the perfect choice!

I'll keep it short and simple. This was a very good experience. The guide was helpful and knowledgable. He had good communication skills and I would book with this company again.

Taiyo was absolutely wonderful and flexible with all our needs. He was knowledgeable and knew the area well. Due to COVID, the regular restaurants on the tour were not open so he needed to find new places to go. It seemed as though he was scrambling last minute to find places so some pre-planning would have been appreciated. He could have checked restaurants ahead of time to find places that were open.

Overall the tour was really fun. we went to some shrines and temples. We also went to a Fukuoka handcraft center and we ate some local food. It was a really enjoyable experience. Sato san catered the tour to our request and even gave my son nice surprises. It was very thoughtful of her.
