In general, guides are "to" whatever they describe, whether this is an action or a thing:
- A guide to living in Japan
- A guide to the City of Tokyo
- A guide to 21st-century Performance art
However, the form that the guide is published in, whether it is a book, a web page, an article, or anything else, would usually use "on":
- An essay on the City of Kanagawa
- A book on building your own nuclear weapons
- A web page on 21st-century Performance artists
"For" is used to say who the guide is aimed at, not what it describes:
- A guide for juveniles
- A guide for car owners
- A guide for Single Moms
I would be a little surprised to see something like "A guide for building your own space rocket," where "for" indicates purpose, and "A guide for seventeenth-century Flemish art" would be wrong.
Yes, the preposition after "guide" must be followed by a specific purpose if you want to use "for," so I still recommend you to use "to" because it applies to most situations.
So I changed my website Name, "Guidebook for Living in Japan," to "Guide to Living in Japan."
