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. -
There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.
Coordinating Kyiv and Phoenix is tricky: 10 hours of separation means their standard hours don't intersect. Async-first is your friend here. Reserve real-time meetings for the rare occasions someone can log on before or after hours. Just remember Kyiv changes its clocks for daylight saving and Phoenix doesn't, so confirm the overlap whenever the seasons turn.
