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 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.

„Thank you KANEO“

Kaneo is a wonderful person. He mad Tokyo come alive for us. We visited the Fish-Market and so many other interesting places. There is no way we would have seen all those places within one day without him. The lunch in a little local restaurant was great. Again thank you Kaneo for all the memorable photos which you took and offered to us after the trip . My wife and I were so happy to spent the day with Kaneo. Thank you.

Thank you for your quick and warm review. I was impressed with your love to your wife. And I will keep in mind your words, “Don’t look back”. Thanks again for you choosing me as your guide.

A full day from Enoshima to Komachi-dori

Full marks to Kaneo. He is knowledgeable, friendly and easy-going. Six hours from Enoshima to Komachi-dori, with many temples and shrines in between is a full and ambitious schedule, but we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Kaneo has local knowledge and experience, his command of English is excellent and his pacing was spot on. If you are to make the most of Kamakura as day trip destination then you definitely want a local guide with knowledge of the streets and public transit options. Kaneo is just that. The soba restaurant he recommended halfway through provided a welcome respite from the days journey and hit the spot. He was at all times helpful and amiably conversant. My family and I fully endorse the experience and are glad of our choice.
