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.
Naples Business Pulse
- Culture Warm, expressive, and deeply relationship-oriented. Business is personal and relational.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Neapolitans value personal trust and lively interaction. Do not rush into the business agenda; spend time on building rapport. Be expressive and engaging. Respect that the afternoon often starts and ends later than in northern hubs.
