There\u2019s nothing worse than heading on holiday, only to be caught out as to whether you\u2019re supposed to be tipping your servers or not. Some countries expect tips and rely on them, while others don\u2019t accept tipping.

Your money will be given back to you and the server will most likely be confused about what you\u2019re trying to do because tips are not the norm in Japan. This is because society believes that when paying for a meal or service, you\u2019re already paying for the impressive experience. So tips on top of your bill are not required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you might worry that the lack of tips removes some of the incentive to offer excellent service to customers, the truth is much different. Rather than the servers only offering good service to customers in the hopes of getting a handsome tip, Japanese servers aim to offer premium service to all of their customers. This means that there\u2019s no prejudice or treating certain customers better than others based on their appearance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is just one of the reasons why Japan is often considered the customer service capital of the world, with the majority of establishments offering incredible service culture to all of its guests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might like our <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/travel\/asia\/japan-itinerary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japan Itinerary<\/a> visiting Torii Gates, Temples, Ninja Lessons &amp; Playing in the Snow <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_Wait_%E2%80%93_There_Are_Exceptions\"><\/span><strong>But Wait &#8211; There Are Exceptions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While tipping is not required in the majority of establishments around Japan, there are a few that will accept them as a token of your appreciation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"18644\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/japan_os-96\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Japan_os-96.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"768,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;outsidesuburbia.com&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1514390588&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9OutsideSuburbia All Rights Reserved.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0083333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Japan_os-96.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Japan_os-96.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Japan_os-96.jpg\" alt=\"Is Tipping Expected in Japan?

However, Japanese interpreters are actually often paid quite handsomely, so they don\u2019t need to rely on tips like this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, guides and interpreters have started accepting tips in recent years thanks to Japan\u2019s tourist scene ramping up in popularity. Depending on where in the world you come from, you might choose to tip your guide. The good news is that you shouldn\u2019t be awkwardly declined, and there\u2019s no expected minimum tipping requirement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tipping_at_Ryokans\"><\/span><strong>Tipping at Ryokans<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A ryokan is a traditional Japanese-style inn that is becoming more popular among tourists to enjoy a more authentic cultural experience. When you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/reviews\/stay\/best-ryokan-in-kyoto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">staying at a ryokan<\/a>, it might be acceptable to tip your servers. The higher-end ryokans often come with personalised experiences tailored specifically to you, so you might feel like you want to tip your room attendant (Nakai-san) or the owner (Okami).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the amount you want to tip is solely dependent on your stay and what you think the service deserves. There\u2019s no expectation for guests to tip, so you\u2019re in control of everything regarding your monetary appreciation. This takes a lot of pressure off of guests and tourists.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"18591\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/kanamean_kyoto_japan_os-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"768,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;outsidesuburbia.com&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1514232978&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9OutsideSuburbia All Rights Reserved.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.11111111111111&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-3.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-3.jpg\" data-id=\"18591\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-3.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-3-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-3-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"18587\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/kanamean_kyoto_japan_os-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;outsidesuburbia.com&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone X&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1514233068&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9OutsideSuburbia All Rights Reserved.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-4.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-4.jpg\" data-id=\"18587\" src=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-4.jpg\" alt=\"Tipping in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-18587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-4-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/outsidesuburbia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Kanamean_kyoto_Japan_os-4-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Tip_Properly_in_Japan\"><\/span><strong>How to Tip Properly in Japan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After reading this article, if you\u2019re still hoping to tip some of your Japanese servers, you should brush up on the proper etiquette to make sure your tip is met with appreciation rather than confusion or offence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people tip by taking out their wallets and handing money over straight away. While generally accepted in most countries, this would seem improper and uncultured in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, slip your clean, crisp bills into a new envelope before handing it over to the recipient of the tip. Always use both hands to deliver the tip, as they will also receive it with both hands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Envelopes should be accessible from the majority of convenience stores dotted around Japan, but you can also use a clean piece of paper folded in half if you can\u2019t find one. Just make sure the money is covered by something clean to make sure your server understands the tip is clean and respected.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>Note:<\/strong><em>\u00a0This post may contain affiliate links, partnership or sponsored content.
