Synchronization Context

Syncing between Accra and Tokyo is challenging due to the 9 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Accra Business Pulse

Culture Professional, friendly, and relationship-oriented. Moves at a steady pace.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal window for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Ghanaians are known for being exceptionally polite and friendly. Relationship building is vital. Maintain a warm but professional tone. Punctuality is valued, but allow for some flexibility in meeting start times.

Tokyo Business Pulse

Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (business card exchange) are central.
Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
