Time difference between Istanbul and Tokyo

Tokyo is 6 hours ahead of Istanbul. Put the other way round: Istanbul is 6 hours behind Tokyo.

Istanbul is UTC+3 in summer and UTC+3 in winter; Tokyo is UTC+9 and UTC+9.

When you can both be at your desks

Working 09:00 to 17:00 in both cities leaves 2 hours in common: 09:00 to 11:00 in Istanbul, which is 15:00 to 17:00 in Tokyo. Those are the hours to aim a call at.

Daylight saving

Neither Istanbul nor Tokyo changes its clocks, so this gap is the same every day of the year.

Plan a meeting across more than two cities

This page covers one pair. TimeGap takes a list: add every city you care about, drag one marker, and every row reads the same instant on its own clock. It marks the hours you would actually take a call, finds the window where the most people are reachable, flags public holidays, and puts the time you pick straight into Outlook or Google Calendar.
