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 day in Kyoto”
Yasu gave us a day of immersion in Kyoto landmarks. The highlight was lunch on the grounds of one of the temples. I’m not a vegetable lover but this was great. In addition to several of the Kyoto highlights, we went to a few spots that were uncrowded but still special. As a bonus, Yasu’s pictures of us were excellent and are some of our favorites from our trip.
