Tokyo to Sydney Time Converter
Sydney is only 1–2 hours ahead of Tokyo, making this one of the easiest Asia-Pacific pairs to schedule around. Use the converter below for the exact gap on any date.
Typical time difference
Japan doesn't observe daylight saving, so Tokyo stays fixed at UTC+9 all year. Sydney is UTC+10 in standard time and UTC+11 during its daylight saving period (October–April), so Sydney is 1 hour ahead of Tokyo for most of the year and 2 hours ahead during the Australian summer months.
Best overlap for meetings
With a gap this small, nearly the entire standard workday overlaps on both sides. A meeting anywhere from 10am to 4pm Tokyo time comfortably lands within business hours in Sydney too. It's one of the few long-haul city pairs where scheduling barely needs to be a compromise.
