Tour guides

On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about ¥50.00 per person.

On a paid tour, a flat ¥100.00 per person per day, whatever it cost.

Guides and drivers are the one place tipping is normal. Reckon per day rather than per tour, and the driver gets about half what the guide does.
