Best time to call between New York and Tokyo

Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of New York. The best time to call is 8 AM to 9 AM in New York (9 PM to 10 PM in Tokyo), or 7 PM to 10 PM in New York (8 AM to 11 AM in Tokyo).

The gap moves by an hour for part of the year because the two places change their clocks on different dates. Times below are for today.

Every hour, side by side

Good for both means it is between 8 AM and 10 PM in each city. Early or late means one of you is calling around 7 AM or 10 PM.

Turn this into a routine

Pick three or four slots a week inside the good hours and move them a little each week so calls never feel like a meeting. Farline does this for you: it plans calls at hours that suit both cities, adds them to Google Calendar, and suggests new times when one is missed.
