Working across Tokyo and Singapore

Tokyo's manufacturing and electronics and Singapore's banking and shipping are different worlds, which is exactly why they call each other. Put simply, when it is 09:00 in Singapore it is already 1 hour later in Tokyo.

The working week is Monday to Friday on both sides: roughly 09:00–18:00 in Tokyo and 09:00–18:00 in Singapore. 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 Singapore side, Chinese New Year (two days in January or February) and Hari Raya Puasa (end of Ramadan). Replies slow in Tokyo during Golden Week and the year-end break and in Singapore during Chinese New Year week.

Book between 10:00–17:00 in Tokyo (09:00–16:00 in Singapore); 7 hours of overlap means neither side takes the call early or late. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
