“Huh, there are an awful lot of real estate agents on the golf course today…”
When I recently started golfing in Japan again, my caddy told me something fascinating.
They said that on weekdays, a surprising number of people from certain professions congregate at the golf course.
I was particularly struck by the fact that many in the real estate industry seemed to favor Wednesdays.
This isn’t just a quirk of golf courses. Across Japan, various industries share a common day off—a unique custom born from a complex mix of business logic, historical context, and even superstition.
It’s a fascinating look into the fabric of Japanese commercial culture.
This isn’t a deep dive into marketing theory or an academic lecture. It’s just a bit of trivia you can share with friends and say, “Wow, I never knew that!”
These insights into what you might call “Japanese industry behavior” might even offer a fresh perspective on business. So, please, bear with me for a moment.
