About Tour Guide Kaneo U.

I’m so excited to have a chance to show you around my favorite spots in Kanagawa prefecture. I was born in Kanagawa. I spent my whole school life, including university, here in Kanagawa. I worked as a high school English teacher here for more than 40 years. I love Kanagawa so much. We have many interesting tourist spots, like Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama.

I got my tour guide license in English in 2009. I am still an English teacher. To give an interesting and impressive lesson to young high school students, I’ve learnt and gathered many kinds of information. I also have a license to teach social studies, so I have a wide range of knowledge about Japanese culture and history. I’m sure to provide you an interesting tour.

“An Amazing Day!”

Kaneo was an amazing guide. He was a wealth of information - from the city, to the flora, and to the history. He also listened to what our preferences were and he was quite accomondating. We actually recommended him to people we met during our week in Japan. We highly recommend him!

Kaneo U.

Thank you for your good and kind review. This September is unusual. Every day is rainy. I am happy to know you enjoyed my guiding in spite of a cloudy and little rainy day. By the way, my iPhone is fixed. I wish I could have taken your pictures more.

“Extraordinary tour,loved it. ”

Covered many aspects of the Yokohama area that you probably wouldn't find on your own. Kaneo was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to suit my needs.

Kaneo U.

Thank you for your quick and nice review. In spite of the weather forecast, we could enjoy walking tour on a cloudy day. Everywhere was not so crowded. I hope you enjoyed historical Yokohama in a calm situation. See you again if possible.

“Tokyo tour”

Kaneo was an excellent guide and companion for our daylong tour of Tokyo. He expertly navigated the city using public transportation and showed us all the major highlights. He was also very flexible with special requests that deviated from our planned itinerary. Would use again!

Kaneo U.

Thank you for your good review. You booked me last December! I really felt happy when I met you after a long period. Like I met an old friend. I also feel happy to know you are satisfied with my guide.
