Tipping in Japan

Tipping is uncommon in Japan, but there are exceptions when it comes to those working in certain industries. People who work as taxi drivers, house keeping, tour guides, bar staff and masseuses are a few who receive tips after providing an excellent service . If your tour guide has provided exceptional service, they might appreciate a tip.

Tipping your guide can serve as a token of appreciation for the guide's hard work and dedication, showing them that you recognize their efforts and are grateful for the experience they provided.
