Planning a call between Sydney and Tokyo

Best window: 10 am to 5 pm in Sydney (9:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Tokyo). In that stretch both cities sit inside core 9-to-5 hours, so neither side takes the call early or late.

Daylight saving

Sydney is on UTC+10 (AEST). Clocks go forward one hour on Sunday, October 4, 2026, moving it to UTC+11. Between that date and the other city’s own change, the gap between them is an hour different from usual.

Tokyo does not change its clocks. It stays on UTC+9 (JST) all year, so the gap to the other city only moves when the other city shifts.
