About Certified guides:
Guiding without license is illegal in Japan. Officially certified guides are prohibited to get kickbacks from shops, restaurants etc.
Guide-Interpreter Business in Japan> Guide-Interpreter Law (from JGA sitehttp://www.jga21c.or.jp/jga_guideinterpreter2_e.html )
Guide-Interpreter Business Law which came into effect in 1949 stipulates that the guide-interpreter business is to escort foreigners and to give them guiding services concerning travel with the use of a foreign language for a consideration.(Article 2) It means that if you get a fee for guiding foreigners in a foreign language without the guide license, it is illegal even though you're doing it as a part-time job.As for the qualification for this business, Article 3 says that one who tries to do the guide-interpreter business has to pass the examination given by Ministry of Land,Infrastructure and Transport and acquire a license issued by a prefectural government. Therefore if you do the business without the license, you might be fined less than \500,000.
