Ive done the bones from the ashes when my grandfather passed away in Japan. The funeral was very quick. Family came from all over Japan the very next day and we went with the hearse to the shrine and after the cremation, we out his urn in a deep hole in the cemetary and it was covered in a beautiful polished granite headstone.

I am Japanese myself. You don't HEVE to bow to the elderly people though. It is normal if you do not bow. As for tipping, it is not rude at all it's just that they get confused because it's just not a thing. And as for eating while walking, you probably should not do that in a touristic area and it usually says on the sign specifically but in general it is not a big problem at all. In fact, I have never heard about this. I see that all the time.

Actually tipping is not considered rude in Japan. Most Japanese people feel like this: "Is it alright if I accept it?" because not everyone is used to the custom. 😉 However, we pay our respects to the custom of visitors, some of us accept tips gratefully and others politely decline them saying "It is alright. You don't have to do that."

Tipping isn't actually rude. They just might be bothered because they simply don't know what to do when they get them. You still don't need to tip, but It might be alright to tip in a tourist heavy location or tour-related services.

I was in Japan 2 months ago, I went to a 7/11 (great store btw) to get a quick snack and my total was 296 yen. I handed the clerk 3 100 yen coins and told him it was ok. I walked out the store and he came running after me to return me my 4 yen. I always believed that he didn’t understand what I meant (Japanese people don’t speak english) but after watching this video I might understand why he ran after me. Still a bit weird to me tho.

Japanese companies are strict, so if the rules for calculating money don't match, it will be troublesome. Even if it's 1 yen. If he doesn't return 4 yen, the boss will get angry. It's one of the things I don't like about Japan.

To the bit about saying thanks, another good phrase to use to be really polite is to say "arigatou gozaimashita" which translates roughly as "thank you for all you have done for me".

A local pizza place that I go to gives an option to tip on one of those iPads and there’s no service whatsoever. And of course I never tip for no service. I do tip my barber because getting a haircut is a service and my barber does a great job. I do think people should tip if they get GOOD service and my dad always wears shoes in the house and I never approve of it because it is very dirty. Whenever I’m at someone else’s house I prefer to take my shoes off. And also about the no eating while walking rule, there’s something in the Talmud (I’m Jewish) that says only dogs eat outside. I love the no eating while walking rule. In America I try not to eat or drink while I’m walking either.
