Time difference between Lisbon and Tokyo

Tokyo is 8 hours ahead of Lisbon

Lisbon, Portugal is UTC · Tokyo, Japan is UTC+9 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Lisbon goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Tokyo does not change its clocks.

Tokyo stays put all year while Lisbon moves, so a meeting fixed in Tokyo's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Lisbon's end.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Lisbon and nine-to-five in Tokyo do not overlap at all. With 8 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
