    This was my first time traveling alone, and between China and Japan, I ended up choosing Japan—and honestly, it felt meant to be. April’s cherry blossoms were breathtaking, petals floating in the breeze as I wandered the streets with no plans, no rush… just that quiet, simple kind of happiness that makes your heart feel light.

    This was my very first trip abroad, and honestly, it felt like stepping into a dream. I’ve loved anime and flowers since I was a kid, so when I told Amber from UME Travel what I had in mind, she immediately recommended a cherry-blossom trip to Japan in March. Best decision ever. It was a private tour—just me and my guide—so I could really soak in every moment without any distractions. Walking through a park in full bloom, wearing a kimono, with a soft breeze blowing petals around me… it truly felt like I had wandered straight into an anime scene. Asakusa Temple, Nara Park, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and teamLab Planets Tokyo ended up being my absolute favorites. Each spot had its own kind of magic. If you’re planning a honeymoon, a proposal, or just want a trip that feels straight out of a romance story, Japan is honestly the perfect place.

    Choosing UME Travel was hands down one of my best decisions! I planned to take my girlfriend to Japan to propose, and Phoebe suggested the cherry blossom season in March—talk about perfect timing! 🌸 She even set up our hotel rooms with a honeymoon vibe and a bottle of wine. Bianco, our guide, was amazing, always looking out for us. Proposal = SUCCESS! Huge thanks to UME Travel and Bianco—definitely using them for all future trips! 💕✈️

    We joined the Japan Cherry Blossom Tour this March, and it was absolutely unforgettable! 🌸 From Tokyo to Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, and Osaka, every stop was like walking into a postcard. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the views were just stunning. Our guide was amazing—super knowledgeable, patient, and always full of good tips. The schedule was well-balanced too: we got to explore famous spots like Asakusa, Lake Kawaguchi, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Osaka Castle, but also had some free time to wander and enjoy local food. The hotels were comfortable, transportation was smooth, and everything ran right on time. Honestly, it couldn’t have gone better. If you’re thinking about visiting Japan in spring, this tour is 100% worth it! 🇯🇵✨🌸

    Just got back from the cherry blossom tour in Japan, and wow—it was amazing! The itinerary was perfectly planned, so we got to see all the best spots without feeling rushed. Traveling in a small group of 16 made everything super relaxed and personal. Our guide was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help or share cool local stories. Hotels were really comfy and in great locations, which made our mornings and evenings stress-free. Honestly, everything was smooth, fun, and totally worth it! Highly recommend!

    I booked our Japan cherry blossom trip with UME and mentioned to Amber, our travel designer, that I wanted a wheelchair ready for my mom. When we landed in Tokyo, our guide Hiroshi was already waiting for us at the reception with it! He took amazing care of my mom the entire trip. Whenever a place involved walking or stairs, he’d let us know ahead of time so we could decide what worked best. Truly appreciate his kindness and attention!

      I did not make a booking - it was just an enquiry. No firm bookings were made.

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten September 2025

      This itinerary is part of our Cherry Blossom Season tours, which are extremely popular. I'd recommend booking early to secure your spot, as availability fills up quickly. And we only require a USD 75 deposit, while it's fully refundable up to 30 days before departure — so there's absolutely no pressure.

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      Is there availability for 29th March to 6th April, 2026 for 2 people? Also there was a code for 3% discount. Does that still apply?

    • UME Travel Co. LtdOperatorWritten September 2025

      We still have availability for those dates. Since it will be the peak season in Japan, spots tend to fill up very quickly. Regarding the 3% discount, that should be a travel voucher provided by TourRadar. You can try applying it when you proceed with the payment.
