Fukuoka: Kumamoto Cherry Blossom Spring Edition Day Tour

This special spring-only day tour invites you to explore Kumamoto's most celebrated cherry blossom destinations, all in one carefully planned journey from Fukuoka. You may join the tour from either Hakata or Tenjin—simply select your preferred pickup point when booking.

The first stop is Kikuchi Park, one of the region's most popular cherry blossom viewing areas. With approximately 3,000 cherry trees lining the park paths, visitors are fully surrounded by blossoms in every direction. During the season, food stalls appear throughout the park, creating a lively local atmosphere where you can enjoy snacks and seasonal treats beneath the blooming trees.

Next, the tour continues to Kumamoto Castle, the symbol of the city with over 400 years of history. In spring, around 800 cherry trees bloom around the castle grounds, creating a striking contrast between soft pink petals and the castle's powerful stone walls. Adjacent to the castle is Josaien, a cultural and dining area offering local cuisine, souvenirs, and hands-on experiences.

The final sightseeing stop is Suizenji Jojuen, a traditional Japanese garden known for its tranquil atmosphere and carefully designed landscape. The garden's miniature hills are arranged to resemble Mount Fuji, reflecting classical Japanese aesthetics. Visitors are encouraged to stop by Kokindenju-no-Ma, a teahouse near the entrance, where the garden can be admired through elegant architectural frames while enjoying matcha and desserts.

After enjoying the peaceful scenery, the tour returns to Fukuoka. You may choose to be dropped off at your original pickup location or at Maizuru Park near Akasaka Station.
