Japan Business Travel Guide: Things to Know
Japan is an island nation in East Asia, comprising 6,852 islands, with the four largest (Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku) making up the vast majority of its landmass. It boasts a deeply rooted culture, cutting-edge technology, and one of the world's largest and most sophisticated economies.
Weather in Japan
Japan spans a wide latitude, resulting in four distinct seasons. Business travellers should be aware of seasonal extremes:
- Summer (June–August): Hot, humid, and marked by a rainy season (mid-June to mid-July).
- Autumn (September–November): Characterized by mild temperatures, clear skies, and beautiful foliage, making it an excellent time for travel.
- Winter (December–February): Generally cold, with heavy snowfall in northern regions (Hokkaido, Tohoku) and mountainous areas, while major cities like Tokyo and Osaka remain cold but manageable.
- Spring (March–May): Mild weather and peak tourist season, coinciding with the famous sakura (cherry blossom) bloom.
Always pack layers. For summer travel, prioritise breathable fabrics and rain gear for the rainy season.
Currency in Japan
The official currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY). Major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) are widely accepted in large hotels, department stores, and major city restaurants. However, cash is still highly prevalent for smaller shops, taxis, and many local eateries. ATM withdrawals are easily done at post offices and convenience stores like 7-Eleven.Tipping is NOT customary in Japan; staff may even be confused or offended if you try to leave a tip. Service charges are usually included in the bill at high-end establishments.
Language Spoken in Japan
Japanese is the primary and official language for all government, social, and daily communication. While many multinational corporations in major hubs (like Tokyo and Osaka) have adopted English as their internal corporate language, fluency levels among the general public and in local service industries can be low.
Time Zones in Japan
Japan operates entirely under a single time zone: Japan Standard Time (JST).The time offset is UTC +9:00. Japan does NOT observe Daylight Saving Time (DST), meaning the time zone remains constant year-round. Business travellers coordinating with European or North American offices should remember that the time difference will fluctuate by one hour when those regions adjust for DST.
