Intercultural communication is of vital importance, as it not only promotes intercultural understanding and respect, but also stimulates innovative thinking and broadens horizons. In today's globalized world, intercultural competence has become the key to individual and organizational success, helping to build a harmonious and pluralistic world. Japanese culture is unique and diverse, blending tradition and modernity, not only in the exquisite art of tea ceremony and flower arrangement, but also in advanced technology and innovation. Its spiritual core of respect for nature and emphasis on etiquette has had a profound impact on the world, highlighting the unique charm and importance of Japanese culture. This paper analyzes Japanese culture based on Hofstede’s Value Dimensions and Minkov’s Cultural Dimensions. It includes individualism or collectivism, high uncertainty avoidance or low uncertainty avoidance, high power distance or low power distance, masculinity or femininity, long or short-term orientation, industry or indulgence, monumentalism or flexumility, exclusionism or universalism, tight or loose culture.
