The best time to schedule calls between the two cities is 9am to 10am Lagos time (which is 5pm to 6pm in Tokyo). Remote teams spanning Lagos and Tokyo typically designate a fixed overlap window for synchronous meetings, with async handoffs covering the rest.

Asynchronous handoffs using shared documents or recorded video updates help bridge the hours when schedules do not overlap.
