Is tipping really not expected in Japan?

Correct. Tipping in Japan is not customary and can be confusing or even mildly offensive. Service is included in the bill.

Typically 18-22% for restaurant service. 15% is the floor for acceptable service. Casual / quick service: 10-15%.

What about rounding-up countries?

In much of Europe (Germany, Austria, Netherlands), rounding up to the nearest euro or adding 5-10% is appreciated, not expected.
