How we checked
Last checked October 17, 2026 against hanatouro.kyoto.travel. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The official Kyoto Hanatouro council page and a Kyoto Prefecture page both state that the Higashiyama and Arashiyama Hanatouro ended after the fiscal 2021 programme, so the series is recorded as closed with no upcoming edition verified; third-party listings for 2026 dates were not confirmed by any official source.
