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.

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.

Reviews

Family vacation

Our family tour was with 6 adult, one of whom required a wheelchair. Kaneo was very helpful, attempting to locate train stop with elevators to facilitate the transfers. 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.

Thank you for good and really quick reply. I am happy to know you are satisfied with my guide. You have amazingly good daughters who love you. I enjoy talking with them about you and your wife. I hope I can meet you someday again.

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!
