Experience the magic of the annual sakura season "hanami" celebrations with a local insider
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
With your host to show you how locals like to celebrate, you’ll go on an experience of some of Sapporo’s loveliest sakura spots. With drinks and snacks from a konbini convenience store, sit down under the blooming boughs of 2,600 cherry blossom trees in Moerenuma Park’s ‘Cherry Blossom Forest’ for your very own hanami (cherry blossom viewing) picnic.
Move between the city’s bustling central parks, each with its gorgeous groves of blossoms, or get off the beaten track toward Nakanosawa. This street transforms into a fairytale tunnel of pink petals. And don’t worry about missing the season! In northern Hokkaido – the last place to warm up springtime – the iconic flowers bloom well into May!

Emi had excellent local knowledge and tailored the excursion to suit our needs and interests. Her husband Dave came along and (being a native English speaker) helped make everything run smoothly.

Show moreOur guide was the best, he was used to dealing with a person in a wheelchair so he took us to wheelchair friendly places and even pushed the chair for us sometimes. He knew a lot about the area, and it's history. His English was fantastic, we had no communication problems at all. He asked if there was anything in particular that we wanted to see or do, which was appreciated. Best tour yet in Japan.
Show moreI had told Ryoko of my partner's mobility issues so he picked us up from our hotel and took us out for 4 hours of fun and information. We especially liked our trip up the chairlift at the Olympic Ski Jump site, a new experience. We had lunch at a little ramen place where the owner played British rock music as well as serving excellent ramen.
