About Tour Guide Yuki K.
Hi, thank you for checking my profile!
My name is Yuki. I live in Kyoto. I was born in Wakayama, but have lived in many places in Kansai area. I also have the experience of studying abroad in America for 4 years, so I speak English fluently.
As for my hobbies, I like to play the piano, play gymnastics, and read books. I also teach Japanese part time so feel free to ask me any questions about Japanese language too!
I'm a friendly person so you can talk to me like your friend. I love talking to people with many different cultural backgrounds and learning new things from them. I think Japan is such a beautiful country and I'm excited to share a little bit of it with you in our tour and contribute to making your day memorable!

Traditional Town “Uji” Kyoto Exploration Tour
The small town of Uji is known as one of the most traditional sites, and is also famous for Uji-Matcha (green tea). Despite the town's rich history and beautiful nature, Uji is often forgotten by many tourists. If you want to experience Kyoto's unique traditional atmosphere, but do not want to go to overly crowded touristy places, this tour is perfect for you.

“Our Kyoto adventure with Yuki”
Going to Japan without knowing the language seemed intimidating. My daughter and I were fortunate enough to place our Kyoto adventure in Yuki’s hands! We shared the sights we wanted to see, the food we wanted to try, and the souvenirs we wanted to buy. Yuki did the rest, planning the restaurants, shops, and sites into an awesome weeklong adventure. We used public transportation - trains, buses, trollies – with Yuki timing the schedule to perfection. Yuki speaks excellent English, and is a wonderful gentleman/guide. I would definitely recommend his services.
“Connect train and escort to Uji and visit”
Thank you Yuki, great job, precise and polite. Just work a bit more on answering phone calls, sometimes it can be urgent.
“Excellent ”
Yuki was very informative, sociable, and friendly and made our tour a wonderfully fun experience.

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.

Hi! I had been working for Wakayama Prefectural Government for 38 years, mainly in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am a national certificated English guide and I have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field of cultural heritage management and international relations. I am very good at cultural heritages. And Koyasan and Kumano in Wakayama Prefecture are inscribed in the World Heritage List as parts of “Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range". I was a project manager of "the Koyasan and Kumano World Heritage Inscription Project” at Wakayama Prefectural Government. I know inside and out of Koyasan, Kumano, Wakayama and other places in the Kansai area. I have a lot of experience of guiding as I was also in charge of international relations for a long time at the government. I will be able to provide interpretive guiding service for you around Koyasan, Wakayama, Osaka and other places in the Kansai area as I am a cultural heritage management and international relations professional. I am sure you will be able to get deeper understandings on Japanese culture and that your trip with me will be memorable one.
