Tipping in Japan

0% typical

How it works

Tipping is not part of Japanese dining culture. Attentive, high-quality service is considered the standard, not something that requires extra payment.

How much to tip

No tip is expected in any ordinary restaurant, bar, or taxi.

In practice

Leaving money on the table can cause confusion, and staff may follow you outside to return it, believing you forgot it. If you want to show appreciation, a verbal thank you is the appropriate gesture.
