Working across Tokyo and Madrid

Calls between Tokyo and Madrid usually connect manufacturing and electronics on one side with banking and telecoms on the other. The gap is 7 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 09:00–18:30 in Madrid. Watch for Golden Week (29 April to 5 May) and Obon (around 13–16 August) in Tokyo and Epiphany (6 January) and Good Friday (March or April) in Madrid. Replies slow in Tokyo during Golden Week and the year-end break and in Madrid during August.

The shared window is short: 16:00–17:00 Tokyo time, 09:00–10:00 in Madrid. Guard it for the conversations that need everyone, and let the rest happen in writing. Only Madrid changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Tokyo stays put.
