Osaka is 9 hours ahead of Edinburgh

Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Edinburgh is 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Osaka.

Book within 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM Edinburgh time (5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Osaka) and both teams will be at work. Overlap is at a premium — roughly 1 hour — so claim 8:00 AM in Edinburgh (5:00 PM in Osaka) for recurring calls and keep them on time. Daylight saving complicates things slightly: Edinburgh observes it, Osaka doesn't, so the difference flexes by an hour part of the year.
