Briefly mentioned this in another post, but decided that it would be beneficial to have an individual more detailed post as well.
While tipping is a widespread practice globally, Japan breaks that norm. In Japan, tipping for a service isn’t a thing. Whether you find yourself in a restaurant, using a driving service, or getting food delivered, remember, people don’t tip.
Japanese culture is rich with precise etiquette, from the tradition of bowing to the art of handling chopsticks, and the etiquette of financial gifts at weddings and funerals to a respectful treatment of superiors. However, Japan also presents a spectrum of surprising behaviors that are not considered rude — contrary to customs in many other countries.
Venturing solo across multiple countries and extensively within Japan’s borders, I consider myself an avid traveler. However, an exceptional journey was rendered more enriching and insightful by YUTours, an expert-guided experience uncovering the depths of Shiga Prefecture. This cultural treasure trove was amazing throughout thanks to YUTours’ well-versed staff, boasting profound knowledge in Japanese culture and a hold on insider details that truly amplified the journey’s richness.
