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.

“The perfect tour guide for families!”
We spent 7 great hours with Mr. Yasuhisa K., and honestly, he made the day so easy for us. He picked us up from the hotel, explained the plan, and took care of all the logistics so we could just relax and enjoy the tour. His English is excellent, and he knows a huge amount about Japan’s history and culture. What we really liked was the way he explained things: interesting, clear, and never too heavy. He was kind, professional, patient, and a real gentleman throughout the day. We had a great experience as a family and would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Kyoto.
