would it be worth hiring a japanese tutor?

so i’ve visited japan once, and im already planning a second visit. i love visiting japan and can see myself going pretty frequently. i spent a year doing duolingo to learn some basic japanese, it helped me out a bit but i got around pretty well with english in most places.

next time i go (and subsequent trips) i plan to visit areas that are less touristy, like hokkaido.

would it be worth hiring a tutor to help me learn some conversational japanese to help me get around when i visit? or should i continue using duolingo? is there a better app than duolingo? if i have to pay for an app i feel like i may as well just hire a real tutor. also, i dont plan on learning any of the languages editing systems as thats a lot of time/effort when i can just use an app to translate any writing.
