Decoding the Japanese Workplace Workshop: The Rules Nobody Teaches You

Two knocks on a meeting room door—what could go wrong? In Japan, two knocks belong to the bathroom stall. At work, you need three. That single slip reveals how many unwritten rules the Japanese workplace runs on, and almost none of them appear in any textbook.

Decoding the Japanese Workplace Workshop brings these rules out into the open. Japanese business expert Hiroko Kamiya and a panel of experienced foreign professionals teach the exact, step-by-step physical manners that matter in Japanese offices and business settings. Forget the lecture format. Expect real practice, real scenarios and a social mixer with pizza at the end.

What You’ll Practice: Japanese Business Etiquette Step by Step

The session covers five areas. First, the 3-knock rule, the correct way to enter a room, and where to put your bag. Second, the business card exchange: how to offer and receive a meishi like a professional. Third, Kamiza: the hidden seating hierarchy in offices and restaurants, and where to sit without giving offence. Fourth, Temiyage: what to bring as a gift and the correct way to present it. Fifth, table manners for business dinners, chopstick etiquette and how to decline alcohol at a nomikai with your boss.

Decoding the Japanese Workplace Workshop: Who Should Come

The event welcomes anyone new to a Japanese workplace, students preparing for a career in Japan, and anyone who wants to build confidence in these situations. The NyuuLy community runs it as a friendly social evening—real practice, pizza and a chance to meet others navigating the same learning curve.
