Shoot for 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Osaka; your Seattle colleagues will see that as 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Seattle is 16 hours behind Osaka, so common hours are scarce (about 2 hours). Lock the slot, keep it short, and follow up in writing. Because of the gap, Seattle is already on the previous day, so confirm you're both talking about the same calendar date.
