Best time for a meeting between Los Angeles and Tokyo
Tokyo is currently 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles. Right now it's 4:39 PM in Los Angeles and 8:39 AM in Tokyo. With standard 9-to-5 working days, the two cities have no overlapping working hours, so someone will need to flex — the fairest option is to split the difference.
Fair compromise slot
4:30 AM in Los Angeles = 8:30 PM in Tokyo
This lands just outside 9-to-5 for both cities and shares the inconvenience evenly. Rotate who takes the early or late slot to keep it fair.
