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.

“Best Guide”
We came to Japan for 21days and 5 cities. We had arranged multiple guides arranged in each and Nao was the best of them! He arranged the route and what we were going to see. Told us how we would get there AND had detailed maps in English of the area! Very good English skills and very knowledgeable of Japanese history and relevance of the sites to that history and showed by diagram where fit in Japanese history timeline. Very much enjoyed the tour and Nao as a guide! Highly recommend him!

(6 reviews)Thank you, Daniel. I'm very happy you enjoyed Tokyo by departing from the hotel on a city bus and taking the subway, water bus, and the new Yurikamome transportation system. Only in Tokyo can you experience the diversity of history and culture. Japan still has many unique cultures, and I hope you will revisit Japan. See you soon. Naoya Usuda
