A famous old town of Kamakura is also known for its beautiful beach. This area is called "Shonan ", which is one of the most popular tour spots in Japan, especially for the young people enjoying marine sports. By using Eno-den Line, which is so cute a train and runs mainly by the beach, you can enjoy both old beautiful Kamakra and beautiful modern beach spots.

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
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.
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.
Thank you for kind review again. I also feel happy to have shown you some spots appeared in your favorite TV program. The Gaufre you gave me is so delicious that I hope I can visit Lille to enjoy it someday.
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.
Thank you for your quick reply. I myself enjoyed playing with your kids, too. They are active and smart. I want to show you how they ran quickly and cleverly in the star maze. I am also happy to know you highly evaluate my guide.
Our group of six had a wonderful fun packed day visiting Hakone. Kaneo was very kind and helped us navigate with all our bookings for trains and various other modes of transport. He guided us to all the must see spots in Hakone and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Kaneo. He has a very personable nature and all of us felt very comfortable with him. He made sure we were all very comfortable during the trip and it was evident he wanted us all to have a great time which we did.
Thank you for your warm review. In spite of of a traffic accident, we could meet your cousins at Odawara station. I was surprised to know they came from India. I felt happy to know you were satisfied with my guide. I hope I could have a chance to guide you again someday.
