JAPANESE CULTURE

Being On Time

In Japan, being on time is a benchmark of

good manners and has been instilled since

childhood. The propaganda of "Time is money"

and nationalism are the reasons why

Japanese people must be punctual in

order to respect others and this

also shapes Japanese people's

discipline towards time.

Greeting in person

In Japanese culture, if there is a formal or

important meeting, it is best to greet in

person without being represented.

Meishi Koukan

or Exchanging business cards

When receiving a business card we

should accept it with both hands and give

a business card in return. We should also

give the business card with the writing

position facing the recipient.

Discipline in queuing

In Japan, it is considered impolite and

not having a good attitude, so it is

important not to get ahead of others or

take away their rights when queuing.
