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.

“Excellent Guide.”

Naoya U. was excellent for our day trip to Nikko. He was knowledgeable, his pace was excellent, and answered all of our questions and taught us so much about Japanese culture, etiquette, and history. Nao has my highest recommendation and we look forward to booking him again in the near future.

Naoya U.

Hi, Bradley Brad and Bill, thank you for a wonderful day. I was surprised and grateful to hear that you've become interested in Japan through anime. I could sense that you already knew a lot about Japan and wanted to learn even more. We talked about the Edo period and the shoguns, especially in Nikko, which is home to the mausoleum of Tokugawa Ieyasu. I was happy that you understood so well. There are so many places in Japan that I would love for you to visit. You are always welcome. I look forward to your next visit to Japan. Thank you. Naoya USUDA

“The best guide ever”

From start to finish the tour and guide were excellent. I would not want anyone else to guide my family. When we go back we want the same guide. He helped us every step of the way. He took pictures of us and sent them to me right away. 5 star treatment, 5 star tour, 5 star guide. Arigato Naoya!

Naoya U.

Hi, Gali It was a wonderful two days spent with you all. How was the tempura in Asakusa? Tsukiji Market was packed with people, wasn't it? Is your husband good at trimming his nails? The Shibuya crossing was fun too, wasn't it? Please come to Japan again. I'll be waiting for you. Have a great day. Thank you for the positive review. Nao
