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.

Amazing Guide and great tour

Today is our 7th day with Naoya, he is our best guide ever! We have been on many tours and can honestly tell you we highly recommend him. Today we went to Hakone but had to cut our tour a bit short because we had an early shinkansen to get to kyoto. We had just enough time for an amazing lunch at Pola Museum and then tour this amazing museum. A tiny bit of shopping for us and then off on our shinkansen to our next destination. Naoya personalized each day to what we wanted, gave us great advice and was so informative about all aspects of Japanese life. I don't usually write reviews but I have every tour with Naoya because he is such a gem.

Hi, Samantha It was our last day together, but it seems you were satisfied. Thank you for your nice comment. I cut our plans short because you were heading to Kyoto, but I think it was good because the weather was unpredictable. The heavy rain and thunder will be a memorable experience. The Pola Museum of Art's program starting today was Van Gogh. Did you learn about the relationship between the Impressionists and Japanese Ukiyo-e? It seems you were satisfied with the lunch. Please visit Japan again, and I look forward to seeing you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip in Japan. Thank you. Naoya Usuda

Amazing tour with amazing guide

Another incredible day with Naoya. He took us to a very old shrine and planned it so we were able to witness an incredible moving ceremony with drums, monks, fire and chants. We were able to take part in a purification ceremony, it was wonderful to experience something so different. We briefly wandered around to different shops and bought candy from a store that has been in multiple generations. A highlight was an incredible lunch at a very authentic Japanese restaurant that was very small and we tried some local cuisine. Then we went to the Edo museum which was very informative and interesting. We loved this tour and it was very interesting! Definitely book with Naoya. He tries to personalize every tour we have taken with him!!!!!!

Thank you Samantha for your wonderful comment. Today I visited the Fukagawa area. The goma prayer at Fukagawa Fudo was a valuable experience. The approach to the shrine lined with long-established shops has a nostalgic charm. Today's lunch was Fukagawa Meshi. It is soul food eaten by fishermen during the Edo period. How did you like the clams? After that, I traveled back in time and visited the streets of Edo. Edo was a city where everything was recycled. It seems that sushi used to be big. Thank you for a fun day. Naoya Usuda

Amazing Guide, best guide ever

Naoya san is truly our best guide. We booked about 7 days with him and glad we did. He is knowledgeable, patient, kind and accommodating. He has a great sense of humor! We had to switch plans on him twice today because we were needing to stop and eat and he was very flexible. He carefully plans each day and explains the days plans and gives us lots of interesting facts. He does not overwhelm us with info which is great. We have asked him a ton of questions and he always patiently answers. We used public transportation like buses, trains and shinkansen which I preferred to keep the cost down. He realled planned a great day, lots of activities including gondola ride and pirate ship. Definitely book with him!

Hi, Samanths A lot happened today, but we were able to see the beautiful Mt. Fuji at Kawaguchiko Station before catching the train to Shinjuku. Thanks to everyone's cooperation, it was a very enjoyable day. Mt. Fuji is seen from the top of the hill we climbed on the gondola. Only the top was still covered in snow. For lunch, we had houtou, a local soul food. It was filled with a variety of vegetables. How about the squash and shiitake mushrooms? And we talked about US TV movies.  It was quite fun. Anyway, I was happy to see Mt. Fuji at the end of the day. Thank you for your kind words. I will do my best until the end. Naoya Usuda
