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.

“A wonderful guide ”
Yasuhisa is a gem. As he only guides a few times a month we were lucky to get him. This is worldly elegant man who has worked for the U.N. and has a degree in marine biology. When he’s not guiding he is a professor at a university. The real deal and an incredible day. Thank you Yasuhisa!

“Great Tour Guide”
My wife and I toured three days in Kyoto and one day in Nara with Yasu. I would definitely recommend him as your private tour guide. He was patient and helpful, providing insight at all the sites we visited. He was flexible in customizing his typical tours to our priorities and was exceptional in communicating during the planning stages of our four days of touring.

Fully customizable your own private tour in Kyoto
There are so many great places in Kyoto that you probably want to visit but perhaps not enough time. It is best to have a local person guiding you to come up with a plan that suits your preference. I can create a tour with you which includes not only popular places like the Golden Pavilion and Fushimi Inari but small temples with wabi sabi such as those in Sagano and one of the oldest Japanese sweets shops in Murasakino.
