TOKYO tour guide
Can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced (I have no idea what this entails in Japan) tour guide who would be able to show a few people around Tokyo for a day? I am looking for someone who (obviously) speaks English and can show 4-5 people around to some main sites, how to navigate the subway, etc. I'm going on a ski trip to Japan and at the end we have a few days in Tokyo. Haven't been able to do much research yet but thinking this may be the best way to use one of our days. Thank you!

The Japanese National Tourism Organization also coordinates free "goodwill" volunteer guides:

You pay any entrance fees and his/her meal if your time with the guide includes one.
As Sneagol notes, a small gift from your home country is generally appreciated -- just be sure to make it very clear that it is a LITTLE thing and be mindful of Japanese norms for gift-giving.
Enjoy!
