When hosting an event in Tokyo, it's important to be mindful of Japanese cultural etiquette. Punctuality is highly valued, so ensure that the event starts on time. Business cards, or "meishi," are exchanged with both hands and a slight bow, and should be treated with respect. Politeness and formality are crucial in interactions, so address people by their titles and surnames. Additionally, removing shoes when entering certain venues or homes is customary, so be prepared for this possibility. Lastly, being considerate of local customs and traditions will help foster positive relationships and demonstrate respect for your Japanese guests.  To learn more, check out our guide on cultural etiquette for corporate events in Tokyo.
