“An Amazing Day!”

Yasuhisa took our requested tour and improved it by 1000%! First he took us to a magical temple in Kyoto we had never even heard of with 1001 Buddha statues. Then he escorted us to Arashiyama where he effortlessly got us front row seats to the autumn festival ceremony and celebration. Finally he chauffeured us to a small bamboo forest away from the crowds. Along the way he wove in his knowledge of Japanese culture and history. I hope I get to come back and do more tours with him in Kyoto or Nara. You would be lucky to get him as your guide !

“Yasuhisa-san provided an excellent and memorable experience”

Yasuhisa-san was knowledgeable about all of the places we visited. He asked my particular interests and crafted his comments to address this. Some places were quite crowded but we discussed and decided on alternate spots and because of this I found some interesting things that I had not anticipated. Yasuhisa-san has unique global experience and is a sound choice who can put most of what you see into perspective. I recommend him highly.
