In a business meeting, Japanese people often like to know what your position is in your company before they talk to you. You should hand over a business card using both hands and when you receive a business card, you should immediately read it carefully. It is important to be punctual in Japan. It is recommended that you arrive early and dress formally. Gifts are often exchanged. But it is common to refuse before you accept them. When you present your gift, you should say that it is just a token of your appreciation. Most visitors are entertained in a restaurant, so it is a great honour to be invited to a Japanese person’s house.
