The 2025 Osaka Spring Daytime (Cherry Blossom) Food Tour - A Limited-Time Cherry Blossom Food Tour in Old Osaka Step away from the crowds and discover Karahori, a hidden gem where old Osaka’s charm remains untouched. This seasonal Sakura-themed food tour takes you through maze-like backstreets lined with traditional wooden houses and artisan shops, immersing you in the district’s nostalgic yet vibrant energy. As you explore, taste seasonal specialties inspired by cherry blossoms, sip local drinks, and meet friendly shopkeepers preserving generations of tradition. Breathe in the soft scent of spring as delicate petals drift through the air, marking the fleeting beauty of Hanami season. We’re offering this exclusive tour during peak bloom—a rare chance to enjoy Osaka’s spring flavors at their best. While exact dates vary, this limited-time experience aligns with the heart of Sakura season, giving you an authentic, once-a-year adventure. Your journey ends in a secluded spot where shrines and cherry trees intertwine. Here, you’ll sit, snack, and simply savor the moment—just like the locals do. Far from the neon lights, discover a different side of Osaka. Eat, explore, and celebrate the season with us before the blossoms disappear for another year!

We really enjoyed Osaka and our food tour with Kurt from Arigato Travel was excellent. A mix of local foods in places hidden away and in plain sight. Great flavours, great information and a really good way to experience the Dotombori area

We really enjoyed the tour ! The food that we tried was amazing, and the places we visited, we would never have tried otherwise. It truly was an authentic japenese experience! Our guide Diante brought humour and knowledge, we loved every minute. And the karaoke add on is a must . I would definitely recommend this tour !
