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.

“Third excellent day with Kaneo”

We were so fortunate to be able to book three days with Kaneo on our trip. Throughout our days with him he took us to very interesting places. We were thrilled that he guided us through two different art museums in Tokyo. Balancing the trip with the fabulous sights of Tokyo and Yokohama, engaging in interesting conversation over lunch and add to that museums, it was an excellent time. We highly recommend Kaneo.

Kaneo U.

I myself enjoyed being with you. On the last day I could enjoy visiting two museums in Ueno park. Spending the whole day in Ueno park is a fabulous and rich experience. Thank you for giving me such a fantastic day. I hope to see you again someday.

“Kamakura- Another Great Day with Kaneo”

This was our second day with our wonderful guide Kaneo. We enjoyed very much spending the day in Kamakura. We loved having tea as we overlooked the bamboo trees at Hokokuji bamboo temple. Our soba noodle lunch was terrific and once again enjoyed conversing with Kaneo while having lunch. Seeing the Great Buddha was amazing. It was an excellent day.

Kaneo U.

Thanks again for your review. I am a happy man to guide warm and friendly guests like you. See you soon again.
