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.

“Very Kind and Knowledgeable Guide”
We have booked Kaneo for three days. Two in Tokyo and one in Hakone. Kaneo was very accommodating and knew where to take us in Tokyo. As you know, there Tokyo is full of things to do, and he managed to edit the sites so that it was manageable. The tours were very informative and he gave a lot of thought as to where we would most enjoy going to. On top of all that, he helped pick out a restaurant and made dinner reservations for us during our last evening in Tokyo. In Hakone, he showed us the many sites there, and we got to see the locations that make Hakone truly picturesque and unique. In all, Kaneo was an excellent tour guide, and he was very attuned to the needs of his tour group. I highly recommend his services. Mari

(51 reviews)Thank you for your warm review, Mari. The days were in Typhoon 10th. But we enjoyed almost all the itinerary without heavy raining. That may own to your friend, Yasuko's strong luck. Thank you for giving me good time to spend you and your family.
“An excellent 2 days spent exploring the best of Tokyo with Kaneo”
Kaneo organised a great two day tour of Tokyo for our family, showing both the old and the new and customising the itinerary based on some Japanese TV programs I have been watching and particular interests for our family. He booked ahead for the Shibuya Sky view (very necessary) and I highly recommend checking out the Ninja Cafe if you have some energentic kids. A really great experience all round and a great guy to spend a couple days with.

“Well worth calling on Kaneo to get the most out of a day in Hakone”
Kaneo was gracious enough to take the long trip out to Hakone to guide us around for the day we had there. It was well worth taking his guiding skills to get the most out of our short stay in the area. He knows eaxctly where to go and what to see in one day. He is excellent at managing the kids and was kind enough to take them to the fun kid's part of the open air museum while we olds had a leisurely stroll enjoying the more serious exhibits. He does his research and enriches the trip with the hostory and tales of Hakone to make the place come alive. A well deserved recommendation.
