Do you love slipping into a soothing onsen bath at the end of your day? Our Hokkaido + Aomori Scenic Sakura Tour is here to surpass all of your expectations!
This carefully-curated tour is filled with exclusive opportunities that allow you to interact with local residents, such as a “Fisherman’s Wife” cooking class and a Tsugaru “Apple Bell” painting hands-on activity. These personal interactions will elevate your time in Japan from merely seeing to fully experiencing, and they’re the moments that are sure to turn into your new treasured memories.
Two special highlights of this tour for cherry blossom seekers are Hirosaki Castle Park, which you’ll get to see at both nighttime and during the day. These beautiful grounds host around 2,600 cherry trees of 50 different varieties, bursting with a multitude of pinks and whites to delight your senses.
Not to be outdone, Ashino Park on the remote Tsugaru Peninsula is known as one of the best hanami spots in all of Japan. You’ll ride an old-fashioned local train into the park grounds, then explore about 1,500 sakura trees in all of their gorgeous glory. The idyllic scenery combined with the pink hues make for an unforgettable afternoon, not to mention providing extraordinary photo opportunities.
