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.
Phoenix Business Pulse
- Culture Practical and influenced by the tech and aerospace sectors.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Always double-check the time! Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so its offset with the rest of the US changes twice a year. Reach out between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM. The culture is practical and direct, typical of the growing Mountain West tech hub.
