Yes- tipping is not in Japanese culture. You never tip taxi drivers, restaurants etc in Japan - and on the couple of occasions I offed a boy from a host bar in Tokyo's Shinjuku -san chome, and Osaka's gay area (where they do exist - but all in street clothes) I'm pretty sure I only paid the "house" charge and no tip was expected.
