WinkieBear -  The only thing I would add is to allow some time for solo recreation.  Every Japanese visitor that we have had requested some time to do some shopping and for some reason buy lots and lots of different postcards.  I think that if you show that you are genuinely trying to make them feel more at ease and to have opportunities for both business and pleasure, everything will be just fine.  The suggestion to give coffee baskets was right on, coffee is very, very expensive there.  In Chicago, you shouldn't have any trouble putting together a gourmet coffee basket.  Let us know how everything turns out!
