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: 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Osaka is 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Tel Aviv.
For a call that suits both sides, look at 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Osaka / 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is 6 hours behind Osaka, leaving about 4 hours of daily overlap — enough for most meetings if you don't leave them too late in the day. Finally, Tel Aviv observes daylight saving and Osaka doesn't, so this window shifts by an hour for part of the year — recheck it each spring and autumn.
