Delve into Kyoto's cherished hanami tradition with a local guide, exploring hidden sakura spots beyond typical tourist paths. Begin at the tranquil Maruyama Park, famous for its cherry blossoms, where you'll experience hanami in a serene setting, away from the crowds.

Next, venture to Kyoto Gyoen National Garden, a less-visited gem where cherry trees bloom in quiet elegance, offering a calm retreat from city life.

The adventure continues at Daimaru's depachika, an underground food paradise. Here, choose a delightful obento, adorned with sakura-themed delicacies, under your guide's expert eye.

Conclude with a hanami picnic at a secluded spot, perhaps within the garden or another hidden gem nearby. Under the cherry blossom canopy, savor your meal, enriched with stories and cultural insights from your host.

This experience offers an authentic immersion into Kyoto’s springtime allure, providing a deeper understanding and appreciation of the hanami culture in Japan's ancient capital.
