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.

Reviews

Well planned Kyoto/Nara 2 day tour

Yasuhisa worked closely with me ahead of time to plan an itinerary for highlights of Kyoto and Nara in a compressed time schedule due to my cruise ships' limited time at port. I was glad we had such knowledgable guide and that I could take a break from having to worry too much about how to get from point A to point B with Yasuhisa expertly guiding us on the bullet train, public transport and taxi rides. Due to having a five-person family group, we managed taxis by taking two taxis to save time with public transport on some occasions. Yasuhisa's calm demeanor made the trip pleasant and enjoyable, and his insights gave us a much greater understanding of the cities and their sites.

Dear Blair Thank you very much for your nice review for the trip on 3rd and 4th July. Despite the busy schedules and hot days, I am very happy to know that you enjoy the tours. I was also happy to accompany with such a nice family as you. Yasu

Yasu - Renaissance Man

I will let Yasu tell you about himself. I think we probably only scratched the surface. Suffice it to say, he is undoubtedly the most overqualified guide out there. His knowledge of Japanese history (and world history, and religion, and marine biology, and...) is beyond extensive. He is wonderful to talk to and to learn from. We really enjoyed our day with him.

Margaret, Josh, Karen and David Thank you very much for your nice reviews on the trip on 16th July in Nara. I was also very happy to be able to accompany with such nice couples as you. Hoping you to continue nice stay in Japan and happy return to your home. 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.
