What to & What NOT to Do in Japan

There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects

No it’s not rude, we just don’t have the custom of tipping. Most waiters and staff are not educated to receive such money. They will be troubled because they don’t know what to do with it. Some hotels/restaurants may even prohibit tipping itself and you may be refused.

This is because today, “service charges” are already included in the payments at hotels/restaurants. If you take a look at the receipts you receive from these places, you'll see an item that says "Service Charge -%." So if you tip it’s like you are tipping twice, and this is what causes confusion.

But then, where did the idea of “RUDE” come from?

“Tipping” is not rude in Japan, but “handing over cash naked” is. In Japan, there is a culture of always putting cash in a special envelope when you give it to someone to express your appreciation or to celebrate something. Giving cash as it is is just like giving a gift without wrapping it and is considered rude.

As a conclusion, even if you receive great service in Japan, just your most generous “ありがとう！" would be enough!
