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.

“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,

“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!
