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.
Seoul and Santiago are too far apart in time (12 hours) for their workdays to line up during regular hours. For anything urgent, agree on an early-morning or late-night bridge hour in advance so nobody's caught off guard. Because only Santiago changes its clocks, the overlap above isn't fixed; expect a one-hour shift when Santiago enters or leaves daylight saving.
