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.
Zurich Business Pulse
- Culture Precise, formal, and highly efficient. Values quality and punctuality above all.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The ideal window is 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Punctuality in Switzerland is non-negotiable; being even one minute late is considered a serious lack of professionalism. Keep your discussion focused, data-driven, and highly organized. Avoid calling during the 12-1 PM lunch hour.
