Synchronization Context

Syncing between Riga and Tokyo is challenging due to the 7 hours offset. Teams should prioritize asynchronous communication or specific 'handover' windows.

Riga Business Pulse

Culture Professional, reserved, and values reliability and education. A major Baltic financial and transport hub.
Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
Pro Tip Ideal call window is 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Latvian business culture is professional and somewhat reserved. Reliability and clear performance are most important. Maintain a steady, professional tone. Punctuality is highly valued. Avoid overly aggressive or "loud" sales tactics.

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.
