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.

“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.

“Three perfect days w/Yasu in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara”
The first thing you need to know is that Yasu is brilliant, he has been all over the world, amd he understands Japan like the back of his hand. And the second thing is that he is incredibly kind. We booked three days with him to cover Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and made constant adjustments based on our requests, the weather, and what was best to do in the moment. All along the way, he made us feel like family amd completely at home in Japan. I urge you to book Yasu if you want to see any combination of Kyoto, Osaka, or Nara. He will make your stay in Japan incredible. He's incredible.

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.
