Only a 30-minute train ride from Tokyo, you can reach the unique cosmopolitan city of Yokohama. Yokohama has two faces: modern and classical. In this tour you can enjoy a modern life at Minato Mirai 21 and a classical one at Yamate Heights and China town. MM21 is a national project, starting in 1984, to create a new city at its waterfront, suitable for the 21st century. Yamate Heights, an old European settlement on a hill, preserves beautiful European style houses.

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.

“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!

“Great tour of Hakone”
Kaneo was a great guide for our Hakone loop tour

Thank you for taking time to review. It was a foggy day, but still we enjoyed Hakone, I hope.

“A full day in Tokya”
Kaneo created a tour that did not duplicate what we had done with our tour. He is knowledgeable and goes beyond the bare minimum for what you need.. he guided us through numerous subway trips to many places. Highly recommend.
