Tipping Tour Guide?

We've booked Context Travel for a full day tour of Tokyo. I'm a bit confused about the conflict between Japan's no tipping custom and Context's FAQ on tipping which reads
Is it okay to tip my guide in Japan?
Yes. Context clients generally tip anywhere from 10-25% of the purchase price of a personal service such as this, depending on the quality of the experience and their tipping habits.
I'll probably offer a tip as it's the path of least resistance, but would appreciate everyone's thoughts on this.
