Naples Business Pulse
- Culture Warm, expressive, and deeply relationship-oriented. Business is personal and relational.
- Lunch Break 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Neapolitans value personal trust and lively interaction. Do not rush into the business agenda; spend time on building rapport. Be expressive and engaging. Respect that the afternoon often starts and ends later than in northern hubs.
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.
