Helsinki Business Pulse

Culture Extremely direct, honest, and values silence and deep focus.
Lunch Break 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM.
Pro Tip Best reached between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Finns are remarkably direct and honest; do not waste time with small talk. Silence in meetings is a sign of thinking and respect—do not rush to fill it. Honesty and reliability are the most important business values.

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.
