Synchronization Context

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

Tel Aviv Business Pulse

Culture Informal, direct, and extremely innovative ("Start-up Nation"). Hierarchy is flat.
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip The work week is Sunday through Thursday. Do not call on Friday or Saturday (Shabbat). Best times are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Israelis are famously direct and informal; do not be surprised if people interrupt or speak passionately—it is seen as a sign of engagement, not rudeness.

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.
