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

The perfect introduction to Tokyo

Our first visit to Japan gave us a brief stay in Tokyo. We wanted a guide who could show us a little of the city. Kaneo was perfect. He is knowledgeable, friendly and happy to customize the tour to your needs. His English is excellent, and he was so welcoming to us. We had a superb day seeing both ancient and modern sights. Kaneo expertly navigated through the city on foot and by train. At every turn he told us about the rich history of the city, and engaged us in conversation, without ever feeling overbearing. He did an excellent job understanding what we wanted to see, both ahead of time and on they day. You could not ask for a better guide to Tokyo. When we come back we will be delighted to travel with him again and see more of this wonderful city. Thank you, Kaneo-San.

Thank you for your really quick and warm review. I enjoyed myself guiding your good and family. I felt happy while I was attending your lovely twin daughters shopping at Harajuku and Akihabara. I am waiting for the day I can guide you again.

Excellent tour!

Kaneo led my son and I on an excellent tour of Enoshima and Kamikura. Importantly, Kaneo has deep personal ties to this area, and this really shows in his expert knowledge of all things about it. He not only took us to the "popular" destinations, but some out-of-the-way places that were great to experience. Kaneo was prompt, professional, and flexible to our suggestions and interests. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you for your so quick and warm review. I am happy to know you liked my guide. Rainy season will start very soon. I think you are very lucky to have spent the time under blue sky. We sometimes say in Japanese, "Kokorogake-ga yoi kara", which means ," You are a good and honest person. So Heaven allows you to enjoy good weather." I hope to see you again sometime if we have a chance.

Best guide ever

My wife and I needed a guide for 3 days in Tokyo including Mt Fuji. I searched through several pages of guides before I found Kaneo. He was available and his info indicated he spoke good English. From our first communication to the our last day of touring, Kaneo was fantastic. He promptly responded to our communications. He sent a detailed itinerary for each day. Even though he lives 1 1/2 hours outside Tokyo, he met us everyday at our hotel. His knowledge of the subways and trains was perfect. One day, I wanted to visit a bonsai museum that he had never heard of...he researched the route and with very little notice and we had an amazing day. We had rain all 3 days, but with umbrellas and parkas we still saw lots of cherry trees and spent a day in Hakone, but didn't see Mt Fuji. I would recommend Kaneo to anyone. YOu won't be disappointed. Frank and Dianne Hodges....Santa Rosa, California

Thank you for your kind and long review. I am happy to know you enjoyed rainy days in Tokyo with me. Bonsai Museum is fantastic. Because of your proposal I could enjoy the museum and I am able to add it to my tour if necessary. I hope to see your bonsais made with the technique you learnt there.
