You can enjoy a small hiking in a north mountain area, where you will feel ancient atmosphere by visiting a mystic cave shrine called Zeniarai-Benten and Sasuke-Inari shrine. You can also enjoy other faomous spots, Tsurugaoka-Hachiman-gu shrine and Great Buddha.
At your hotel or Kamakura station in Kanagawa pref.
Famous for its 11-headed Kannon statue. Its beautiful garden is also famous.

Near here, we can enjoy many types of Japanese lunch, such as Soba noodle, Ramen noodle or authentic traditional Japanese dishes
One of the 7 ancient passes in Kamakura. It's a little wild and steep but you can feel ancient atmosphere here.
A little far from the central Kamakura, you can feel the nature of Kamakura by walking.
Main shrine built by Minamoto Yoritomo in 1180, who was the founder of Kamakura Samurai government.
Shopping street. You can eat many kinds of Japanese food and buy good souvenirs.
At your hotel or Kamakura station in Kanagawa pref.
Kamakura is surrounded by small mountains, which protected this first Samurai government against enemies. Zeniarai-Benten shrine is in a cave in this mountain area. Among Japanese, it is famous for its washing money ritual. But it is located in some 30 minutes walk from Kamakura station, so it is difficult to reach without help, especially for foreigners. I will guide you to this sacred and nature-rich area through an ancient mountain pass.
Before this small hiking, I can show you Tsurugaoka-Hachiman-gu shrine and Komachi-dori shopping street. After hiking, you will get to famous Great Buddha and Hase-dera temple.

Kaneo was the perfect guide during our first day in Tokyo. It was our first time to Tokyo, and requested he help show us various things such as the bus system, shopping areas, etc. he did a great job working all of our requests into his tour, and also showed us many beautiful shrines and landmarks around the city. He has deep knowledge around the city’s history, which added a lot to the tour. Thanks again for a great tour!
Thank you for so quick reply. I am glad to know you enjoyed my tour. Though middle of September, it was too hot today. We walked too much. I hope you will enjoy Tokyo in slower pace tomorrow. I will take a rest. Kaneo
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.
