- Culture Professional, historic, and relationship-driven. A major hub for finance and education.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Scottish business culture values personal rapport and integrity. Take a few minutes for polite greetings before the agenda. Edinburgh is a major financial center; expect high standards of professionalism and clear, honest communication.
Osaka Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more pragmatic and direct than Tokyo. Known for a entrepreneurial spirit and "Kuidaore" (eat until you drop).
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Best times for calls are 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM. Osakans are known for being slightly more informal and direct than people in Tokyo, but standard Japanese business etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
