Visiting Offices in Japan?

Hello,
This is my first time going to Japan (for 2 weeks in September), but I studied Japanese for 3.5 years (can have day-to-day conversations) and just graduated with Computer Science. I really want to know what the work culture is like in Japan for my profession and would love to experience it firsthand with a tour of a software company showing the "inner workings".
Does anyone know how I could do this?
Thank you!

I would imagine "inner workings", especially of a software company, would definitely classify as proprietary and not available for the average person. A personal contact within the company would be a must to say the least, but even then, I don't think they'd be willing or able to give you a tour. It seems much too "difficult" an endeavor to explore.

I agree with the above poster. If you want to see inside an office, you will need to know someone personally (still it will be a big favor to ask, particularly at a software company), or come as part of official university visit (by invitation), or for internship. But as you say you are coming only for two weeks, I guess you are no considering any internship at all.

Thank you for the replies! What you say makes total sense. Luckily, my company has a Japan branch, so I will talk to my manager on this tomorrow.
