Time difference between Tokyo and Lagos

Lagos is 8 hours behind Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan is UTC+9 · Lagos, Nigeria is UTC+1 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Tokyo does not change its clocks and Lagos does not change its clocks — so 8 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Tokyo and nine-to-five in Lagos 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.
