Animal cafes are a pretty normal thing there, so keep that in mind.

There are two types of people out there in this world. The ones that can't stand animal cafes, and the ones that wouldn't go to any cafe if there aren't cats and dogs to play with.

We can firmly say that we're the second type of people out there, hence why we love Japan so much! In fact, Japanese people love animals so much that you can find almost any type of animal cafe in Tokyo.

Business etiquette in Japan is a bit different, so let's start with business cards.

And because you'll have to work when you move to Japan, we think it's important to point out a few different things that are super important when conducting business in the land of the rising sun.

For example, business cards in Japan are a pretty big deal. That's why when you're handing out your business card, or you're receiving a business card, you should treat it with respect. You can show respect by giving and receiving cards with both hands.

Also, make sure you always carry enough business cards on you to have to give away.

Make sure you're always on time and keep your word when it comes to building trust in your business partners.

And, finally, if we have to share one last tip on business etiquette in Japan, it's always to be on time and punctual when conducting business.

Japanese culture is built on trust, so it's pretty hard to earn trust in the business of Japanese people. That's why you will have to go above and beyond at first until you earn their trust.

Moving to Japan can be a pretty fun experience and a new chapter in your life. People are moving there for the beautiful nature, the people, and the security and opportunities the country provides.
