Nagoya Business Pulse
- Culture The heart of Japan's manufacturing (Toyota). Values precision and long-term stability.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM. Nagoya is the precision engineering capital; be prepared for very detailed, technical discussions. Punctuality is non-negotiable. Building a long-term, stable relationship is more important than achieving quick, one-off sales.
Shanghai Business Pulse

- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (Nap time is common).
- Pro Tip Respect the 12-1 PM lunch and rest window; lights are often dimmed in offices for naps. The best time to call is between 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM. Avoid calling during major public holidays like Golden Week or Lunar New Year, as business comes to a complete halt.
