During Japan’s cherry blossom season, many popular cafés and restaurants especially in big cities in Tokyo and Kyoto can become fully booked, even if a few tables appear empty. This means that even if you see empty tables, they are often already booked for guests arriving later at specific time slots. This is especially true near famous blossom spots such as Meguro River and Shinjuku Gyoen, where demand increases significantly during peak bloom. To avoid confusion or disappointment, it’s helpful to check availability or book ahead when possible. Tabelog app allows you to browse reviews, filter by cuisine, and make reservations in advance. Planning ahead can make your sakura experience smoother and more relaxed, especially during this beautiful but busy time of year! 🌸 @Tabelog Japan by Locals #pr #hanamiwithTabelog #tabelog

If you’re looking for a truly local cultural experience in Tokyo, here’s something special in Sumida! I tried a hands-on wagashi workshop at Saitama-ya Koume, an 86-year-old sweet shop loved by locals, where a real wagashi master teaches you how to create the prettiest seasonal nerikiri Japanese sweets. There’s just something special about learning directly from someone who has devoted his life to this craft and it’s such a wonderful opportunity to learn the delicate art of traditional Japanese sweets in an authentic local setting! Definitely one of those hidden gems in Tokyo you’ll want to save 💬Comment “sweet” and I’ll dm you more info! #PR #墨田 #墨田区公式外国人アンバサダー #わたしのすみだ自慢 #これもすみだのシティプロモーション

Osaka Umeda’s newest all in one destination 🌿 If you’re visiting Osaka, definitely check out GRAND GREEN OSAKA. It opens into wide green space surrounded by modern buildings, and the pace naturally slows. I saw locals sitting on the grass, chatting, even having small picnics, and it instantly changed the mood of the area. What I liked most is how everything flows in one place. You can eat well, shop thoughtfully, and take a break without moving far. Featured in the video: ① In GRAND GREEN OSAKA: 🍽️ Time Out Market for Osaka favorites and international dishes 👜 SOMÈS SADDLE for timeless Japanese leather 🍵 SUSgallery for titanium tableware that feels like functional art 🎏 Editorial for small, quirky made in Japan finds 👟 Nike Umeda for Osaka exclusive customization ② In GRAND FRONT OSAKA: ☕️ MUJI at Grand Front for everyday essentials and one of the only MUJI locations with in store roasted coffee. (MUJI is located in GRAND FRONT OSAKA North Building, right next to GRAND GREEN OSAKA) If you want a spot where you can explore at your own pace and slow down between plans, this is one to save.

🌸Make your own souvenir in Japan ✨🇯🇵 Instead of buying one, I made something myself using a traditional Japanese craft that’s been passed down since the Edo period. This Tsumami Kanzashi workshop lets you create a beautiful Japanese hairpin using authentic techniques that are over 300 years old. You get to choose from nearly 100 different fabrics, each with unique colors and patterns, and craft your own piece with guidance from a Japanese artisan. What I really appreciated was how beginner-friendly it felt. Before starting, they show you a short video explaining the history and process in English, so you actually understand what you’re making and why it matters. The experience doesn’t stop there. You also get a short factory tour, photo opportunities, and of course, your finished hairpin, additional traditional hair ornaments of your choice, plus a photo frame to take home. If you’re looking for a meaningful, hands-on souvenir experience in Japan, this is such a special one! Comment “SUGINO” and I’ll DM you the booking link! @sumidaambassadors @kanzashi_sugino #PR #墨田 #墨田区公式外国人アンバサダー #わたしのすみだ自慢 #これもすみだのシティプロモーション
