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.

Reviews

Kaneo's excellent

We worked with Kaneo to pick us up at our Tokyo hotel and help us navigate the 3 trains necessary to get to Hakone. It was a little more money, but much less stress. He had been very flexible in working with us to tailor his standard tour option to our circumstances, and his knowledge about the time and effort to do what we wanted was very helpful. We also had a chance to visit a woodworking craftsman's workshop at the end of the tour, and ended up buying a wonderful woodcut of Mt Fuji which now hangs on our wall. Highly recommended!

Thank you for a good review. It was my first experience to use a bullet train to Hakone. It was amazingly fast! When we left Hakone, you made me know we could see Mt. Fuji. It was a rare occasion to see it in the afternoon. I think the woodcraft you bought brought Mt. Fuji to us. Thank you again for giving me a wonderful time with you.

We enjoyed all areas of interest

It was a very interesting tour. Very interactive. Opportunity to change schedule to fit our recommendations.

Thank you for really quick and good review. I hope you enjoyed my guiding, though we walked too much. I hope I will have a chance to see you again someday.

Amazing guide

We booked Kaneo for 2 days to start our trip to Japan. He did a great job showing us a combination of historical sites and modern Tokyo. The lunch spots he picked for us were great and his organization of each day was perfect.

Thank you for your good review. I enjoyed the tour with your cute daughters. On the first day it was raining. I hope you could enjoy cherry blossoms even in the rain. And I am happy to hear you liked a very traditional ramen shop in Shibuya. I wish I can see you some day.
