The true Hanami spirit during Cherry Blossom season in Kyoto can be found away from some of the busier neighborhoods, and instead exploring around temples, gardens and shrines (both big and small). Join us on this walking tour of the Demachiyanagi area of Kyoto. Taste local treats and beverages, under the cherry trees, explore the history of the district, browse along a very local “Shotengai” Shopping arcade and a famous Shrine and Temple area- and finish up with a delicious foodie dinner experience in a local Soba or Udon restaurant – after viewing the gorgeous blossoms around the neighborhood.
We will start off with some small snacks under the cherry trees but we will also feature dinner during our tour. You will have a chance to join us at a local “sobaya or udonya (noodle) restaurants” that are serving 100% handmade noodles. You can also try local sake (rice wine), and a variety of other regional dishes. The restaurants feature seasonal menus so you can discover the best ingredients during the springtime in Kyoto. At the end of the tour you can enjoy a locally famous, traditional dessert.
