Osaka to Los Angeles: Time Difference & Best Time to Meet
Schedule calls for 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Osaka — your colleagues in Los Angeles will be online from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Since Los Angeles is 16 hours behind Osaka, the overlap is narrow (about 2 hours); a single, well-protected slot beats hunting for time each week. Don't get caught out: Los Angeles is the previous day from Osaka, so "tomorrow" means different things to each team. Because Los Angeles and Osaka don't both observe daylight saving, plan to re-check the overlap around March and November.
