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?

YOU are asking for a guide???

maybe she is considering a new career?

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?

I'm on the Hampton Jitney now on my way home from Montauk Long Island - I've only taken a private tour in Tokyo.....Mr Oka I think.....
