Los Angeles and Tokyo Time Difference

Best time for family calls

Scheduling a family call between Los Angeles and Tokyo takes a little planning. Los Angeles is 16 hours behind Tokyo, which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in Los Angeles — around 7 pm — which puts Tokyo at 11 am. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
