FAQ
What is the time difference between Tokyo and New York?
New York is 13 hours to 14 hours behind Tokyo, shifting with daylight saving time. Because the gap can shift when either city moves on or off daylight saving time, this page shows the exact current difference live above, calculated from each city's official time zone. Use the converter above to turn any Tokyo time into the matching New York time, or open the World Clock meeting planner to compare full days side by side.
What time is it in New York when it's 9 AM in Tokyo?
Enter 9 AM Tokyo in the converter above and it shows the matching New York time instantly, using the live time-zone offset so daylight saving is always handled correctly. The converter also lists several common hours so you can scan the whole working day at a glance. If you are scheduling a call, the "best overlap" strip highlights the hours when both Tokyo and New York are within normal working hours (9 AM to 5 PM), which is the simplest way to pick a slot that is reasonable for everyone rather than doing the arithmetic in your head.
Do Tokyo and New York observe daylight saving time?
The difference between Tokyo and New York changes through the year, which means at least one of them shifts its clocks for daylight saving while the other does not (or they shift on different dates). This page recomputes the offset from each city's current time zone every time it loads, so you never have to remember which weeks daylight saving is active — the live difference and clocks at the top are always correct for right now.
When is the best time to schedule a call between Tokyo and New York?
The "best meeting times" strip above marks the hours that fall inside normal working hours (9 AM to 5 PM) in both Tokyo and New York at the same moment. Because the two cities are far apart, the overlap can be small or fall early or late in the day, so you may need to compromise. For a fuller view, open the World Clock meeting planner, which lays out a colour-coded 24-hour grid for both cities (and any others you add) so you can find a slot everyone is comfortable with.
