Planning a call between Tokyo and Vancouver
Best window: 8 am to 10 am in Tokyo (4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Vancouver). There is no overlap inside a strict 9-to-5, but these hours fall within a normal 8-to-6 working day at both ends — one side takes it near the start of the day, the other near the end.
Daylight saving
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.
Vancouver does not change its clocks. It stays on UTC−7 (PDT) all year, so the gap to the other city only moves when the other city shifts.
