Tokyo

Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of Atlanta right now.
Does the gap change?
The gap isn't fixed. Atlanta changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Tokyo doesn't, so the difference moves during the year:
- From around November 2, 2026: Tokyo ahead by 14 hours
- From around March 15, 2027: Tokyo ahead by 13 hours
Best time to meet
Normal office hours in Tokyo and Atlanta don't overlap. The most workable window is 6 PM to 10 PM in Atlanta, which is 7 AM to 11 AM in Tokyo, with one side starting early or finishing late.
For a recurring meeting, it's fairest to rotate which city takes the inconvenient slot.
