Seattle to Tokyo: Time Difference & Best Time to Meet

Both offices are open during 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Seattle time, which is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Tokyo. The window is short at 2 hours, so keep meetings tight and anchored to 4:00 PM in Seattle (8:00 AM in Tokyo). The two cities aren't on the same date during this window — Tokyo runs the next day from Seattle. Heads up: because Seattle changes its clocks and Tokyo doesn't, the difference moves by an hour twice a year. Confirm the overlap around the DST switch.
