Private guide in japan
Has anyone here hired a guide rather than used a Goodwill/free guide in Japan? If so, do you recall the cost? Did you find it worthwhile?

I would think Kim is asking for someone close who is considering a guide. I wish I had first hand experience to help.

Mara, where are you?

Aloha!

I know Junko Matsuda is mentioned here a lot with her price about 25000 yen per 7 hour day and with great reviews but no personal experience.

Aloha!

HT has it right. I do know personally someone who has used Junko Matsuda and had a great experience. How about outside of Tokyo?
