The same way that many Westerners cause problems by tipping in Japan, maybe many Japanese don't realize that they should tip when they are traveling in the West. I wonder what it says in Japanese travel guidebooks about tipping. It must be a little bit of a pain for Japanese people to have to pay extra for good service outside of Japan. It's like an extra tax.
