Business cards Kyoto

Business cards in Kyoto are exchanged with the same formal meishi etiquette used across Japan, and a QR code and NFC chip added to the card give a traditional crafts business, manufacturer or hospitality operator a modern way to share a fuller profile once that exchange is complete.

Traditional crafts, precision manufacturing and research

Kyoto's business community spans long-established traditional crafts workshops, precision manufacturing firms supplying global electronics and machinery supply chains, and a significant university research sector. Meishi etiquette here is often observed particularly carefully in crafts and long-established manufacturing businesses, where the exchange is treated as a mark of respect between old and new contacts.

A card with a QR code fits well once the exchange is done, and a researcher or manufacturer can use the linked profile to share a paper, product specification or supplier catalogue that would not fit on a printed card.

Tourism, hospitality and delivery

Kyoto's large tourism and hospitality sector also relies on quick, repeated introductions with visiting partners and tour operators, and a scannable profile with a booking link is a practical addition for hotel, ryokan and tour business contacts. Delivery to Kyoto and the rest of Japan is by tracked delivery.
