Welcome to SERENDIPITY, LLC, where passion meets purpose. I am Naomi Saito, the founder of SERENDIPITY and a seasoned interpreter with a deep commitment to making a positive impact on society.

My journey began as a Rotary Foundation scholar, where I honed my skills in speech communication at Pennsylvania State University. Upon returning to Japan, I transitioned from corporate in-house interpreting to embarking on a freelance career. Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching as a simultaneous interpreting instructor at a prominent Tokyo institute, nurturing
the next generation of language professionals.

In 2020, I established SERENDIPITY, LLC, with a dual focus on revitalizing aging properties and addressing Japan’s vacant housing crisis. Through our innovative approach to AKIYA restoration, we are dedicated to tackling social issues like housing insecurity and revitalizing communities. Our projects not
only help AKIYA owners but also support socially disadvantaged tenants such as single mothers, people with disabilities, foreign residents, and senior citizens who are often turned down by landlords. Additionally, I have invested in an overseas project in Cambodia supporting IT education and further expanded myinvestment horizon in the Philippines.

With a portfolio that includes interpreting for prominent figures such as former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Yoshihide Suga, Jim  Rodgers, Dr. Philip Kotler, and more, and facilitating business engagements on a global scale, I bring a wealthof experience and expertise to every project I undertake.

Join me on this journey as we weave together language, culture, and sustainability to create a brighter future for all.
