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.
Rome Business Pulse
- Culture Formal but passionate. Relationships are built over coffee and long discussions.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM or 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM. Avoid the 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM lunch break. Italians value relationship building ("La Bella Figura"); always maintain a professional but warm and engaged tone. Business slows down significantly during the "Ferragosto" period in August.
