Tipping on Tours

I work in the tour industry.
Compared to people from other countries, Japanese people tip extremely little. Perhaps it is because you don't know, but I have lived in the U.S. for a long time and sometimes I don't like the fact that Japanese people don't have a good reputation. I will write this in reference to the tips I myself pay in Hawaii or when I go abroad. By the way, I am not particularly rich and have a normal income & When I act with my foreign friends, the other party is also like this.
restaurant ( sit down meal ) = 20%, at least 15% if service is slow or something
pick up of hoardings or drinks at a take-out store = $ 0 to lowest option ( 10, 1 5% or $1, etc., depending on terminal )
Valet car rental, etc. at hotel ( Tipping staff for valet services = $5 to
Tipping tour guides and others who have helped you = $10 or more, $20 or more for group participation. More if there is a high level of satisfaction or if the service is above normal expectations.
I understand very much that the yen is weak, but I am very disappointed when I see people tipping less than $5 on tours.If you would like to know more, please let me know...

I wonder if only Japanese really tip less ?
I think there may be a circumstance that you often work with Japanese people, or that you are aware of Japanese people as they are also Japanese.
# As Mr. 16 said, it is not only Japan that does not have a tipping culture, but most countries other than the US do not require tipping.It is strange that people in other countries understand and observe good manners, but only the Japanese do not.
Where do people from other countries learn such manners? ? Are there any clear guidelines for tipping? ?
I have the impression that Japanese people, both visitors and guests, are very strict toward the same Japanese people.
Putting aside the weak yen, the high cost of living has made me feel that the prices of goods and services are not commensurate with their value.
I just hope that the economy will not go into recession in the future.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

It depends on the position.
I don't really agree with the "only Japanese" point.
I work with people from the north side of the mainland and Koreans.
They pay or don't pay, it varies.I have the impression that even many Americans don't pay for over the counter purchases, but Japanese tourists pay all over the place for no reason at all.

A friend of mine is an airport shuttle driver, and he said that not only Asian people, but also Europeans don't tip.

I think it is up to each person, regardless of nationality, whether or not to tip.
I have the impression that many Japanese people are too strict and concerned about the same Japanese people, perhaps because of that kind of education. The Japanese culture of "right to the right" education is a bad thing.
Also, it is not only about tipping, but many Japanese do not say anything to the other person on the spot, but complain persistently at such places or afterwards.Frankly speaking, I think it is foolish. Aside from that, there is no rule in the US Constitution or state law that says you must tip. Also, this is a bit off topic, but many Japanese people say that the yen is weak, but honestly, from an American point of view, I don't give a damn about the exchange rate situation.
Why do you feel sorry for them because of the weak yen and why should you lower the price just for Japanese people? ?
On the contrary, when the yen was strong, did you take the exchange rate into consideration when you traveled to Japan ?
No, you did not. ?
It is unequal.
So, I don't care about that, if you don't have money, don't force yourself to come here.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

#14 Mr. G
I think $ 3 is normal for valet parking.
My family works at the Marriott valet and they say
average $ 2.
Same for those from the mainland, sometimes $ 5, but $ 1. My friend valets at Trump and says $ 1.
If you get
$ 5 for about 10 customers an hour, that's about $ 400 tips a day.
I say it's not possible.
I'll put the 2023 tip price for your reference.
