We enjoyed our tour with Kaneo San thoroughly. He was very helpful and courteous on the messages before our trip and during the tour. He let us know beforehand that there are lots of walking involved and to wear comfy shoes and attire. He would wait for us throughout the trip (we walked slowly ; ) and told us the history and interesting story about the places. Thank you Kaneo San for sharing and guiding us. Thumbs up for your tour!

We had a blast visiting Yokohama with Kaneo. He was able to get reservations for us to make our own cupola of noodles at the Cup Noodles Museum. We also had a last minute change in schedule and number of people and Kaneo was able to make the changes easily. We had so much fun!
