If you are travelling to Japan then you may be wondering whether you will need to tip for services such as restaurants and hotels while you are visiting. 

Two common questions travellers to Japan ask are “do you need to tip in Japan?” and “is it rude to tip in Japan?”. The answer to both of these questions is straightforward, tipping is not required at all by travellers in Japan. Japanese culture is not a tipping culture, providing exceptional service to customers is something that is considered standard in Japan and offering a tip may even be deemed offensive to some.

So whether you are enjoying the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, or taking in the majestic sight of Mt Fuji. It is simply best to enjoy Japan for all of its delights without the leaving of tips.
