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.

The "K" in Kaneo stands for "Kind"

Kaneo was such a thoughtful and kind guide. He messaged me before our flight from the U.S. to check on us because there was a typhoon expected in Tokyo as we would be flying. Our flight was delayed and that impacted our dinner reservation we had planned for our first evening. Because I couldn't contact the restaurant while we were flying, Kaneo was willing to call and adjust the reservation for us. Kaneo was very intentional about making sure we went to stores of interest to the kids when we walked around the Ginza area. He found a great stationary story for my daughter and golf store for my son. I was worried about navigating our first train ride in Japan the following day and Kaneo took us to the train station to show us around so we were ready the next morning. We are looking forward to another day with Kaneo when we return to Tokyo before heading home to the U.S.

Thank you for your kind and good review. I am glad the typhoon didn’t harm your trip too much. I am looking forward to seeing you again in Tokyo soon.

Kamakura with Kind Kaneo was a great day!

We very much enjoyed our time with Kaneo and had a wonderful tour of Kamakura and Enoshima with him. Kaneo planned a day that was smoothly paced and we got to see many highlights of places that he knew well. We learned more about the history and culture and had a fun lunch with him. And we got him to sing our family's theme song in the bamboo forest! We had to change the date of our tour just a week before and he was gracious and flexible and went out of his way to make it work for us. We highly recommend him if you are looking for a tour guide near Kamakura/Tokyo.

Thank you for your good and kind review. It was a good memory that I sang “Country Road” with your husband in a bamboo forest.

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.
