Tipping is considered RUDE

Tipping is considered rude in Japan and is not required. Often times, unless you ask if service is included in the meal, it is. The wait staff is paid appropriately and they do not rely on tips. Tips are even considered a slap in the face, if you will. Do not tip in Japan!!!!!

 Yokosuka is home to both a US Navy base, as well as a Japanese Naval Self Defence Force base. It has quite a naval history, and that for me is what makes it interesting.
