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.
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.
Had a wonderful day exploring Yokohama. Kaneo was very responsive prior to our trip and arranged a great itinerary for us. I had wanted to do an authentic Tea ceremony and that was arranged. Went for a great lunch in Chinatown and explored beautiful gardens. Would definitely recommend him highly.
Thank you for your quick and warm review. It was a little hot day but it was luck not to rain. I myself enjoyed authentic tea ceremony practice. I am happy to know you like Sankeien garden. I wish you will enjoy the rest of tour in Japan.
