whe we were in Japan last fall we obtained a volunteer guide for the day through the Japanese Tourist Office and a local service organization. You do not pay for the guide's time. You buy lunch and pay for the guide's metro fare. The link below should give you more info about the program. The JNTO website is also really good one for selecting accomodation.
We had expected it to br very expensive too but were pleasantly surprised. There were even lots of good inexpensive restaurants to eat at. We usually paid about 1500 yen per person for a good lunch and bought yogurt and juice at the local supernmarket for breakfast.
