About Tour Guide Yasuhisa K.

I have worked in the multi-national organizations including UN agency for around 30 years and stationed at various cities including Rome, Bangkok and Hanoi. Although I have retired from those international carriers, I wish to keep the international cooperation and develop the friendship with people who visits our country. As I like history and am practicing Noh song and wood curving of Buddha images, I have decided to live in Nara where is surrounded by many historical places and traditional cultures, when I returned back to Japan in 2017. I wish to offer you custom made trip ideas to be able to enjoy the atmosphere of old city, Nara. I am also planning to develop trip plans to enjoy the local cultures. Please call me Yasu.

Dear Hope. Thank you very much for your nice review for the tour in Kyoto on 2nd and 3rd April. I was also very happy to be able to accompany with such beautiful systers as you. Yasu

A wonderful day in Nara

We had a fantastic day exploring Nara with Yasuhisa. He showed us the local temples and shrines, helped us feed the deer, and arranged a vegetarian lunch for us. He even took us in his car to see more cherry blossoms a bit off the beaten path. He is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, and he offers an excellent tour with extensive detail for each site.
