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 day exploring Kyoto”
I could only spend one day in Kyoto during this trip, but with Yasu-san guiding me, it was a pleasant and worthwhile visit. There are many places to see in this city, so we picked a few main areas for the tour in advance. We agreed to adapt the itinerary as the day progressed based on my interests, crowd levels, and when I needed rest breaks. Yasu-san is very intelligent and speaks excellent English in a calm and thoughtful manner. As we explored Kyoto, he provided just the right amount of historical and cultural background information about the places we visited without it ever feeling overwhelming. Even at the busiest sites, the tour never felt stressful thanks to his guidance. We also visited some beautiful, less crowded temples to balance things out. Overall, the tour kept an appropriate and well-managed pace. There was also time set aside for shopping, and I appreciated his help to find the specific items I wanted. Kyoto is quite crowded with tourists, so having a knowledgeable guide is invaluable to help navigate the city efficiently. If you are lucky enough, you will have Yasu-san as your guide. Thank-you so much Yasu-san!

“Full day cruise ship excursion in Kyoto ”
This was a full day for sure! We covered everything and Yasu was an excellent guide. Be prepared to ride many forms of transportation. Some stations have a lot of stairs. It was a good overview of many temples and included a special lunch experience. We can recommend this tour.
