Cherry blossom season is here! Let's enjoy it like a local in a central Tokyo neighbourhood! Walk around a beautiful river side filled with hundreds of cherry blossom trees, take cool pictures and maybe jump on a boat together with local Japanese friends and Tokyo residents. You will be joined by a Japanese guide and friends who speak English and can share their experiences and stories about cherry blossoms and life in Japan!
The second part of this experience is Hanami picnic! The practice of Hanami is over 1000 years old. We will welcome together spring while sampling local snacks and making origami! During cherry blossom season, many retailers offer specialty sakura flavored sweets and drinks. Those limited-edition items are only available for a month during this time of the year, so let's try them together!

The hanami picnic will include a selection of snacks and some light foods, you are welcome to bring your own drinks and more snacks if you wish.

[Important notes]
The area will be crowded as cherry blossoms are in full bloom. So please wear comfortable shoes, use the restroom before coming to the meeting point and bring a bottled drink with you.
