I'm surprised that your guide didn't have a flag for that
purpose. Most of the professional guides in Japan use a pennant
type flag with a distinctive pattern, so their group can find
them more easily in the midst of the ever present crowds of
people.

I have used the hat a few times for working outside. I still have

it. Those hats actually did come to good use when we got to
Tokyo. When we went to the Ginza district, we could never seem to
find our tour guide. She was shorter than most of the people
around her, so she disappeared quickly. We were able to get her
to wear it once or twice after that.
