No, ordinarily nobody tips in Japan.
Some expensive restaurants, in first-rank hotels and the like, have service charges built into their prices and labeled as such, but tipping is not a common custom in Japan.
Some foreign-operated/staffed bars have tip jars, but it's extremely rare.
Taxi drivers are astounded if a passenger offers them a tip, and while they mostly accept, they find it an amazing and unexpected windfall.
It's not uncommon for waiters or other restaurant staff to run after a (foreign, of course) customer who has left a tip on the table, trying to return the money that they assume the customer has forgotten.
never tip in japan.
a thank you would suffice, or place the tip in an envelope
No. Tipping is a taboo. You only have to pay the bill. Though, if you do try to tip they generally will take it to be polite.
In Japan, it is not customary to leave a tip at restaurants. If you are in America, it is generally accepted that a tip should be 15 - 20% of the bill for good service.
If you are in Japan, it is not the custom to leave a tip and if you do it may be considered offensive. If you are in another country, you should follow the rules of etiquette of that country. For example, in the United States it is customary to tip (generally) 15 - 20% for good service.

There is no obligation to leave a tip in a restaurant, if you received bad service.
If the service was good and adequate, tip just like you would in a restaurant. 20% of the total price is a good tip to leave if you get good service, 7%-10% if the service was just OK.
A restaurant owner should not tip his/her staff, period. What type of stupid question is this? The service staff should be lucky to have a job, and treat the proprietor with respect, which means serving him/her and not expecting a tip. Who gives the owner a tip for starting a great restaurant and creating many jobs?
