Chicago currently runs on UTC−6 and Tokyo on UTC+9, so Chicago is 15 hours behind Tokyo. Chicago is currently on standard time, and Tokyo does not observe daylight saving time. Because both cities follow their own clock rules, the 15 hours gap you see today can shift by an hour around the spring and autumn changeovers, which is why this page calculates every value live from the official time zone database instead of a fixed offset. There is no hour today when both offices are inside normal 09:00–18:00 hours, so one side will need to join early or late. Use the planner above to drag across a range, compare more cities, then copy a summary or add the slot straight to Google Calendar.
