Fukuoka Business Pulse
- Culture Energetic, entrepreneurial, and the gateway to Asia. Values innovation.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Ideal window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Fukuoka has a strong start-up culture and is slightly more informal than Tokyo, but standard Japanese etiquette (punctuality, politeness) still applies strictly. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour for all professional inquiries.
Lyon Business Pulse
- Culture Traditional but innovative. Values both industrial heritage and world-class gastronomy.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Never call between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM; the lunch break is strictly for dining and networking. Tuesday and Thursday mornings are typically the best for reaching senior leaders. Business culture is formal and values long-term personal trust.
