The seat you take, the card you hand over, the "yes" that means no — Japan's business rituals, decoded for your next trip.
Your next meeting in Japan will be judged before you say a word — by the seat you choose, the way you hand over your card, and whether you catch the "yes" that actually means no.
Japan Business Etiquette Pro is a complete field guide to doing business with Japanese companies, written for the traveling professional. 236 entries. Fully offline. No account, no tracking.
THE FIELD GUIDE — 88 in-depth entries across 8 areas
• The Japanese Business Mind — nemawashi, ringi, honne & tatemae, why decisions take time
• Meetings & Negotiation — from the reception desk to the follow-up email
• Bowing, Doors & Office Manners — the physical choreography
• Business Dining & Nomikai — kanpai, pouring, karaoke, and the morning after
• Gifts & Temiyage — what to bring, what never to give
• Communication & Follow-up — email honorifics, response speed, saying no politely
• Dress & Appearance — Cool Biz and the details they actually notice
• The Long Game — from vendor to trusted partner
FIVE INTERACTIVE TOOLS
• Seating Decoder — tap any seat in 6 scenes (meeting room, reception room, taxi, elevator, private dining room, bullet train) and learn who sits where, and why
• Meishi Coach — the business card ritual in 10 steps, with a practice quiz
• Honne Decoder — 18 polite phrases like "zensho shimasu" translated into what they usually mean and what to do next
