Mt.Fuji is not the tallest mountain in Japan, but it symbolizes Japan. It is 3,776m high and an independent peak representing Japan.

From Shinjuku, you can take a special train to Mt Fuji. That is a 2-hour journey.


Because of the majestic beauty of its ridgeline, it has been alive as a source of various cultures since ancient times. We recommend enjoying the view of Mt. Fuji from the five lakes surrounding Mt. Fuji, such as Kawaguchiko or Yamanakako. You can enjoy Mt.Fuji without climbing.

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.




Reviews

“3 days in and around Tokyo”

Our 3 days with Naoya were incredible. He is the best guide we have ever had and we now consider him to be a friend. He was very accommodating to several special requests including finding a location in a national park where my wife’s mother had taken a photo almost 70 years ago so my wife could recreate the same picture. Also, my wife was born on an Airforce Base in northern Tokyo which has been turned in to a 1950’s style American village. He not only took us there, but also wrote up a history of the town. When my wife asked if he had ever been there before, he answered once last week. We couldn’t believe he had spent a day of his time off to research and come scout out the location to make sure we had the best experience. This level of professionalism is way above what would normally be expected from a guide. He was also fun and engaging and was very knowledgeable about the area. He also spoke great English so there were no communication issues which was just icing on the cake. We could not have chosen a better guide or had a better experience. Naoya (he pronounced it “now”) is the best! Brent and Linda Miller Dallas, Texas

Hi, Brent and Linda Hi, Tom and Teresa The wonderful three days I spent with you all come flooding back to me. Thank you so much for your overly generous compliments! We were truly blessed with good weather in Hakone, and we even got to see a beautiful view of Mount Fuji—it seems the weather was on our side, thanks to your own good deeds! During our sightseeing in Tokyo, we also happened to come across a wedding ceremony at Meiji Jingu Shrine; what a truly fortunate encounter that was. We also visited Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and Johnson Town with Linda’s mother, and the traditional festival we saw in Kawagoe was such an exciting highlight! I believe all of this was thanks to your own good fortune. Thank you for bringing some of that happiness into my life as well. I wish you both continued good health and a long, joyful life ahead. Once again, thank you! Naoya Usuda

“Tokyo and Nikko”

Nao was an extremely capable guide. He gave us marvelous intro to the Japanese culture. He was very helpful, teaching us the subway system. He was always on time and very courteous and helpful. I recommend him very highly to any other English speaking Travelers to Tokyo.

Hi, Diane and Mark Thank you for your compliment. It was a fun three days with you. Unfortunately, it was raining for three days, but it was a valuable time to talk about various things. Travel enriches your life. Cheers to your family! Naoya

“Excellent Tour”

We had an excellent tour with Naoya. He had great communication to create a custom tour for us. He arrived at our hotel lobby. He spoke excellent English. He was very informative about the many sights we visited and provided informative pictures on printouts. He took photos of our family. He took us to great shopping areas and helped us with ordering lunch. It made our day a breeze. We really enjoyed our day and Naoya made it very special. Thank you.
