Best meeting times between Tokyo and New York

When coordinating remote teams or scheduling client meetings across Tokyo (Japan) and New York (United States), overlapping business hours depend on the 14-hour offset.

• Tokyo working window: 9:00 - 18:00 (JST)

• No direct 9-to-5 standard business overlap; morning/evening flex hours recommended

Tips for multi-timezone collaboration

  • Asynchronous Updates: Rely on recorded walkthroughs and documented PRs for handoffs when offset exceeds 6 hours.
  • Shared Calendars: Configure secondary timezone displays in Google Calendar or Outlook to prevent accidental off-hours invitations.
  • Rotated Call Times: For regular cross-regional standups, alternate weekly meeting times so no single hub constantly sacrifices personal evenings.
