London and Tokyo have a 8-hour time difference. For remote teams, there are 1 working hours of daily overlap in standard schedules (9–18).
The best meeting window is 09:00–10:00 London time (17:00–18:00 Tokyo time).
The 1-hour overlap is a narrow but valuable window — reserve it for critical decisions and blockers. Outside of it, async-first processes keep work flowing: structured tickets, recorded walkthroughs, and clear written context.
Tokyo opens the workday first, 8 hours ahead of London. A common pattern: London starts with async context from Tokyo, the overlap window handles live decisions, and Tokyo closes with a clear handoff for London to act on overnight.
