5pm in Kraków is 12am in Tokyo

When it’s 9am in Kraków, it’s 5pm in Tokyo. Tokyo is 8 hours ahead Kraków. Kraków observes daylight saving time but Tokyo does not, so the gap shifts by one hour during clock changes. The best time to schedule calls between the two cities is 9am to 10am Kraków time (which is 5pm to 6pm in Tokyo). Remote teams spanning Kraków and Tokyo typically designate a fixed overlap window for synchronous meetings, with async handoffs covering the rest. In practice, teams in Kraków tend to take early-morning calls to reach Tokyo during standard afternoon hours, while Tokyo counterparts can schedule near end of day. Asynchronous handoffs using shared documents or recorded video updates help bridge the hours when schedules do not overlap.
