For the smoothest call, aim inside 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Vancouver, i.e. 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Tokyo. Tokyo is 16 hours ahead of Vancouver. That's only 2 hours of overlap, so pair live calls with async follow-ups to make the most of it. Because of the gap, Tokyo is already on the next day, so confirm you're both talking about the same calendar date. Note that Vancouver follows daylight saving while Tokyo stays put, so the times above drift by an hour seasonally.
