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.
