This tour covers the Eastern part of Tokyo. Tokyo is a modern metropolitan city built on an ancient Edo, where Tokugawa samurai government was settled. Even now we can find old relics of ancient Edo among truly modern Tokyo streets. Asakusa, Ueno and the Imperial Palace itself are some of the examples. Let’s explore Tokyo with me and find the soul of Japan.

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.

“Stay at Hakone”
Our stay at Hakone was for only two nights. We were lucky enough to have booked our guided tour with Kaneo who was absolutely brilliant. He’s not only a great guide but a kind man with great sense of humour. Thoroughly recommend his service.

Thank you for your quick and nice review. I also enjoyed the tour with you. You have a wonderful family. Because you are " Kokorogake-ga-yoi-hito", good person with kind and nice heart, we were also lucky to have a brilliant winter fine day.

“Visit to Japan”
Kaneo was an excellent guide for our short visit to Japan. He was very knowledgeable and created a tour based on our suggestions and his own experiences. He was very flexible and communicated with us often. He even sent us pictures he took of our day. We truly enjoyed talking with him about many things. Excellent job!
Kaneo U.
I am happy to hear you enjoyed my guide. I myself enjoyed small talking with you and Robin. I hope someday I have a chance to see you again.

“Family Vacation Yokohama ”
Our 2nd tour with Kaneo as the guide for our family of 6 adults and he continues to provide interesting information at historical sites, introducing good restaurants and beautiful gardens. He is very patient during shopping sprees despite delaying his schedule. He took the additional step of guiding to Tokyo Station and assisting in the purchase of bullet train tickets and locating train departure points. Kaneo is an excellent guide and provides exceptional service. I highly recommend Kaneo as a guide to experience an smooth, enjoyable vacation,
Kaneo U.
Thanks again for your good review. I am happy I could show you Yokohama, a kind of my home town and take you to Osanbashi pier, your memorial spot. I hope you have good days on the rest days in Japan.

Tokyo Hanami Tour
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 later. This year March 21.
