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.

“Wonderful visit to Hakone with Kaneo”
Our group of six had a wonderful fun packed day visiting Hakone. Kaneo was very kind and helped us navigate with all our bookings for trains and various other modes of transport. He guided us to all the must see spots in Hakone and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Kaneo. He has a very personable nature and all of us felt very comfortable with him. He made sure we were all very comfortable during the trip and it was evident he wanted us all to have a great time which we did.

“Trip to Yokohama ”
Had a wonderful day exploring Yokohama. Kaneo was very responsive prior to our trip and arranged a great itinerary for us. I had wanted to do an authentic Tea ceremony and that was arranged. Went for a great lunch in Chinatown and explored beautiful gardens. Would definitely recommend him highly.

“A good tour of Hakone”
Kaneo was great and communicated the itinerary with me way before our trip. He answered any questions we might have prior to the trip as well. My family and I got a good tour around Hakone in a 8hr time with explanations of the history. We had one full day in Hakone so it was great that someone was able to take us around and I didn't have to try to navigate this all on my own. Saved us time and headaches of getting lost. Thank you again, Kaneo!
