Hong Kong Business Pulse

Culture Fast-paced, efficient, and highly international. Values both Western efficiency and Eastern heritage.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip The best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM or 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Avoid the 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM lunch hour. Business is fast and professional; be prepared with your data and ready to make decisions. Like Singapore, punctuality and professional titles are highly respected.

Tokyo Business Pulse

Culture Consensus-based and very formal. Respect for hierarchy and "Meishi Kōkan" (business card exchange) are central.
Lunch Break Strictly 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip The most effective window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Avoid the strictly observed 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs. Late afternoon calls (4 PM - 5:30 PM) are also acceptable, but ensure you follow formal protocols and hierarchy if multiple stakeholders are on the line.
