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.

“7 Hours in Kyoto”
Yasu guided me and my wife around many historical sites in Kyoto. He was very knowledgeable and able to tell us about everything we saw. We really enjoyed every moment with him and were sad to say goodbye at the end of the day. I cannot recommend a tour with Yasu highly enough.
