Business in Japan

10 days

Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka | JPB

Where centuries of craftsmanship meet the cutting edge of global commerce, Japan offers a masterclass in innovation. Walk the trading floor of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, then step into the immersive world where tradition and tomorrow exist side by side. Travel by bullet train to Nagoya, where the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology reveals how one company helped shape modern manufacturing. In Kyoto, try your hand at Yuzen silk dyeing and explore the serene grounds of Heian Jingu, discovering the cultural values that continue to drive Japanese business philosophy. End your journey in Osaka with a behind-the-scenes tour of Kansai International Airport and a street food adventure along the neon-lit Dotonbori Canal. From boardrooms to bullet trains, this is business education you can't get from a textbook.
