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.

“Whole day tour of Kyoto”
Yasuhisa is an excellent guide, he met us in Osaka Cruise Port terminal and we took a taxi to the Bullet Train Statuib to Kyoto and we saw everything in Kyoto and he explained the sites well and sometimes we take public transportation, other times we take a taxi. And at the end of the day Yasuhisa went with us to Nara on the train to continue the tour next day. He recommended a nice hotel to stay in Nara near the train station.

Dear David & Patty I believe that the tour went well except the last moment. It was a thrilling moment to catch a train connecting with Sinkansen at Kyoto. Such exciting experience can also be a memory of the tour. Yasu

“A Day out seeing some of Kyoto. ”
4 of us had a great day with Yasu on this tour. We wanted to do some of the sights but also try the public transport too. It did not disappoint. Yasu took us on the underground, the busses and the trams, to see the following: 1. Kinugasa-Ji, the golden temple 2. Ryoan-Ji, a zen garden and temple made famous by our late Queen 3. The tram ride ( they have one line) 4. Tenryu-Ji temple with the oldest garden in Japan and 5. Arashiyama park and bamboo forest. It was very busy again…but, Yasu our guide turned out to be a delightful and engaging guide who was sprightly and knowledgeable. He moulded the day to our abilities so we saw as much that was possible. We were all very grateful to him spend his time showing us around. Thank you again Yasu. Gordon, Tony, Philip and Simon.
