• Do your homework on Japanese etiquette, and the structure of the business world. It may take years to understand Japanese culture, but you should at least start with a basic understanding of what is expected of you. Society is governed by strict protocols and these must be respected, particularly understanding seniority, respecting age, enabling the Japanese to save face at all times and reading between the lines of what people say, which is not always what they mean.
• On a more basic level, arrive in Japan armed with appropriate gifts, carefully prepared presentations and a large pile of business cards. Stay in a reputable hotel and dress smartly but conservatively. Act with modesty and humility at all times.
