Tipping

TIPPING IS NOT A JAPANESE CUSTOM. THEY ARE NEVER EXPECTED.  
THERE IS SERVICE CHARGE OF 10-20% WHICH IS ADDED TO THE BILL
AT HOTELS, RYOKAN AND RESTAURANTS. IF A VISITOR WISHES TO   
SHOW PARTICULAR APPRECIATION FOR A SERVICE, PERSON CAN GIVE 
A SMALL FINANCIAL GIFT TO THE STAFF, INSTEAD OF MONEY.      
SPECIAL PRINTED ENVELOPES CAN BE BOUGHT FOR THESE KIND      
OF FINANCIAL GIFTS.
