Cherry blossoms tell the start of Japanese spring. During cherry season, I will show you some of the best spots for "Hanami" in Tokyo. But the date of full blooming differs every year depending on the weather, which is hard to predict. Several predicting services compete in their predicting accuracy every year. Cherry blossoms usually start blooming late March and end at the beginning of April. They reach full blooming 7 days after starting and end 7 days later after full blooming.

“Yokohama was better than I expected because of Kaneo”
Kaneo-San was very professional, resourceful and knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. He helped us select some of the most interesting and beautiful places to see in Yokohama, one of them was the Sankeien Garden. It is a must see garden with beautiful ponds, different species of cherry blossom trees, historical houses representing different periods in Japan brought from different parts of Japan such as old farm houses, tea ceremonial house and the oldest temple constructed in 1400s brought in from Kyoto.. it is an open air museum ! Last but not least, Kaneo-San went out of his way to help my sister to pick up a purchase she has made from the Red Brick Warehouse! He was so flexible with the itinerary and adjusted it based on the weather. We had such a good time with Kaneo-San and grateful for his guiding. We definitely will recommend him to anyone who wants a competent, kind and reliable guide to show them Yokohama.

“Tokyo tour with Kaneo”
Kaneo is a very personable and helpful guide. He was efficient and knowledgeable. The your he planned for us took in all the major sites we wished to visit and he did not rush us, actually he gave us more time than we had paid for. It would have been helpful to have some written information about the sites we visited to take away and read, because there is limited time and a lot to take in. But this is only a small point and overall the experience was excellent.
