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 have completed my OPT and received my nursing license. So even if I find a job, I cannot work immediately because I do not have a work permit. I expect it will probably take at least 6 months for it to take effect. For this reason, I am considering transferring to another language school to maintain my visa until I find a job, but as an alternative plan, I am wondering if I can return to Japan once I find a job and stay in Japan until my work permit is issued. Is this plan really difficult?

I got some coffee beans, do you know where I can grind them ？ I've seen them at Costco, but I can't use them unless I buy the beans there ？ I'll probably only use them this once, so I'm not sure if I should bother buying meal.

I am planning to return to Japan temporarily.
I am not sure when I will be back in Hawaii next and I don't want to waste money on rent, so
I am considering cancelling my apartment contract and storing my belongings in a storage unit before returning to Japan.
I have no experience with self storage and would like to hear from those who have used it.
Please let me know if you recommend this storage facility in Honolulu, or if you recommend not to use this facility, or if you have any stories of mistakes that happened when you left your belongings at this facility.
Since we are in Hawaii, we are especially concerned about sanitation.
Also, please let me know if you have stored your car in this way or if you know of a service that can safely store your car while you are back home for an extended period of time.
Thank you very much.

I am new to Hawaii.

I would like to buy contact lenses, where do you get your prescription? ？
My English is not good, so a place where Japanese is spoken is ideal, but I would like to buy as cheaply as possible, so Costco and Sams are also on my list.
Do I need to have any special English skills? ？ Do all places charge an initial consultation fee, etc. ？
This is my first time and I don't know a lot.　Please tell me a lot about your contact life.
Thank you very much.

I heard that most of the insurance policies available in the U.S. allow you to pay the full cost of the insurance once you apply for it,
and then pay the fee that will cover you later.

I heard that there is an insurance in Japan that can cover the co-payment
If you have such an insurance, please let me know.
