Oslo Business Pulse

Culture Values work-life balance and honesty. Informal but professional.
Lunch Break 11:30 AM - 12:15 PM.
Pro Tip Norwegians start their day early; 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM is the best window. The work day often ends early, especially on Fridays or during the summer (sometimes as early as 3:00 PM). Be direct, honest, and avoid any "hard-sell" tactics. Work-life balance is extremely respected.

Yokohama Business Pulse

Culture Professional, industrial, and closely linked to Tokyo. Values long-term corporate stability.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal window is 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. As Japan's largest port, business is practical and trade-oriented. Standard Japanese etiquette (punctuality, politeness, formal protocol) is strictly followed. Avoid the 12-1 PM lunch hour at all costs.
