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 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.

“Family Vacation Yokohama ”
Our 2nd tour with Kaneo as the guide for our family of 6 adults and he continues to provide interesting information at historical sites, introducing good restaurants and beautiful gardens. He is very patient during shopping sprees despite delaying his schedule. He took the additional step of guiding to Tokyo Station and assisting in the purchase of bullet train tickets and locating train departure points. Kaneo is an excellent guide and provides exceptional service. I highly recommend Kaneo as a guide to experience an smooth, enjoyable vacation,

He was very informative, describing the history of each area visited, how tharea evolved to present status. He is very patient and made special efforts to address interest of each person. Kaneo is an excellent guide highly regarded by our group.

“Great day in Tokyo!”
We had a great day in Tokyo with Kaneo! This was our second time in Tokyo so we had already seen most.og the major attractions. After I listed the places we already visited and put preferences, Kaneo made a program that was perfect for us (a family with a teenager), we all enjoyed it. As requested, we visited some wonderful.places that are a bit off the beaten tracks and it was awesome and not crowded. I highly recommend booking a tour with Kaneo!

Tokyo,Now &Then
Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.

Walking tour along an old Kamakura samurai road
Kamakura was the seat of the Bakufu (feudal government) from the 12th century to the 14th century. Many samurai warriors as well as commoners came and went. Kamakura is surrounded by mountains and they would walk across them. Unfortunately, with urbanization, almost all roads are now paved and widened. But you still can walk on the hill side. You can walk an old road between Yokohama (Mutsura) and Kamakura. This road is actually the same as the one used in the 12th century.
