Best time for a meeting between New York and Tokyo
Tokyo is currently 13 hours ahead of New York. Right now it's 7:39 PM in New York 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
6:00 AM in New York = 7:00 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.
