What Japan actually expects

Don't tip. Cash left on a table is often handed back — it can read as the staff being underpaid. Service is built into the price; first-class hotels add a 10–15% service charge and izakaya add a small per-person table charge (otōshi).

The full breakdown — amounts, rounding, and what we did on the ground — is in our Japan tipping guide.
