Absolutely No Tipping
The Japanese don’t believe in tipping waitstaff extra since they hold themselves to a high standard of providing the greatest service possible, in contrast to America or Europe where it’s regarded downright impolite to do so. No matter how strange it may sound, don’t tip.
Just a little thank you will do. Although hotel policies are the same, some employees who assist tourists are accustomed to receiving gratuities and will be appreciative of the gesture. Just be inconspicuous and give the cash to the recipient in an envelope.
Wandering Along the Nameless Streets
The vast majority of streets in Japan lack names. The postal address system is peculiar and intricate. The prefecture, which is akin to a state, comes first, then the municipality or city, the district, the block (if the address is in an urban area), and finally the land number for addresses in rural areas.
Apart from a few in Kyoto and Hokkaido cities, Japanese streets are largely nameless. Some houses are numbered according to the date they were built, and the space between streets is named.
