About This Conversion
This pair's gap isn't fixed: Japan Standard Time (JST) runs 14 hours ahead of Eastern Time (EST/EDT) for part of the year (around January), and 13 hours ahead of Eastern Time (EST/EDT) for another part (around July), because Eastern Time (EST/EDT) and Japan Standard Time (JST) shift their clocks for daylight saving on different dates. Use the live comparison above for the exact figure right now.
Common for US East Coast companies coordinating with Japanese manufacturing, finance, or tech partners — one of the largest gaps on this list, so overlap is limited.
Best Time to Schedule a Call
There's essentially no overlap between a standard 8am-6pm workday in Eastern Time (EST/EDT) and reasonable waking hours (8am-8pm) in Japan Standard Time (JST) — reaching both sides during their normal day isn't possible with this pair. Plan for an early morning or late evening call on one end, and rotate who takes it.
