Working across Tokyo and Nairobi

Tokyo's manufacturing and electronics and Nairobi's fintech and development agencies are different worlds, which is exactly why they call each other. Tokyo runs 6 hours ahead of Nairobi.

Both cities work Monday to Friday, Tokyo typically 09:00–18:00 and Nairobi 08:00–17:00 local time. 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 Nairobi side, Madaraka Day (1 June) and Mashujaa Day (20 October). Replies slow in Tokyo during Golden Week and the year-end break and in Nairobi during mid-December to early January.

Only 2 office hours overlap — 15:00–17:00 in Tokyo, 09:00–11:00 in Nairobi — so recurring meetings should hold that slot and everything else can go asynchronous. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
