Working across Tokyo and Athens

Tokyo's manufacturing and electronics and Athens's shipping and tourism are different worlds, which is exactly why they call each other. The gap is 6 hours, with Tokyo the one whose clock reads later.

The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–18:00 in Tokyo and 09:00–17:00 in Athens. On the Tokyo side the dates that break a schedule are Golden Week (29 April to 5 May) and Obon (around 13–16 August); on the Athens side, Orthodox Easter (Good Friday to Easter Monday, April or May) and Independence Day (25 March).

The shared window is short: 15:00–17:00 Tokyo time, 09:00–11:00 in Athens. Guard it for the conversations that need everyone, and let the rest happen in writing. Only Athens changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Tokyo stays put.
