Best Meeting Times Between US and Japan Teams (2026)
8 AM Tokyo is 4 PM in Los Angeles the day before. West Coast afternoon windows, the East Coast dead zone, and why the Philippines slot is an hour off. -
Best overlap: 8:45 AM to 2:45 PM in Kathmandu is 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Seoul.
If you set up a recurring sync, 8:45 AM to 2:45 PM in Kathmandu (12:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Seoul) is the natural home for it. Seoul is 3.25 hours ahead of Kathmandu, but you still share a generous 6 hours of overlap, so scheduling is easy and there's room to move a meeting when you need to.
