Planning a call between Vancouver and Tokyo
Best window: 4 pm to 6 pm in Vancouver (8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Tokyo). 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
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.
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.
