About Tour Guide Naoya U.

My Name is Naoya.

I was born in Tokyo in 1952.

After my graduation from Keio University, I joined a Japanese bank.

Mainly I was assigned international business and stayed in London for three years.

At the age of 52, I moved to a Japanese manufacturer company and had worked for 11 years.

As a personnel manager, I engaged in hiring Indian graduates.

Then for two years, I went to Tashkent in Uzbekistan as a JICA senior volunteer.

I taught "corporate finance" at Tashkent Financial Institute in English.

I got the guide license in 2017, After I came back to Tokyo, I am working as a volunteer guide,

especially in Shinjuku.


I hope to create special and deep tours in which tourists are interested but by now they were not

able to gain access to.

For example; Visit to various Universities, Visit to narrow streets in Tokyo, Visit to feel Edo (Now and Then)


My hobby is playing the guitar. I hope we are in peace through music.

I am also interested in Art, History and cooking.

My major subject is economics and finance.

A Day at Nikko with Nao

We had a wonderful day from beginning to end with Nao. He listened to my wishes and we went to the perfect activities in Nikko and had a fantastic lunch. Nao met us at our hotel and guided us through the day from beginning to end. Highly recommend! Thank you

Hi,Jennifer Thank you for your review and comments. We had a wonderful trip. Nikko Toshogu Shrine was beautiful with its autumn leaves. It was a little cold at Kegon Falls and there was a strong wind, so unfortunately we were unable to explore Lake Chuzenji. For lunch, we enjoyed yuba, a local specialty. We are glad that you were able to create fond memories. Thank you for your cooperation. Naoya Usuda

Our Visit to Tokyo

Nao was very prompt in communicating with us prior to our trip. He planned a great day & even found a vegetarian restaurant where we had a wonderful lunch. He met us at our hotel the morning of our tour & was there right on time. Would not hesitate at all to have Nao tour us around again. Thank you for a great day!

Hi, Christian Thank you for your kind words. I am happy to have had a wonderful day with such a wonderful family. Tokyo has many different faces, so you may not be able to enjoy it all in just a few days. Please come to Japan again. I look forward to seeing you. Naoua USUDA
