Time Difference Between Lima and Tokyo

How far apart are Lima and Tokyo?

Tokyo (Japan) runs 14 hours ahead of Lima (Peru). In practical terms, the working day in Tokyo starts while Lima is still in the early hours or asleep, which is what makes scheduling between the two take a little planning.

Best time to schedule a call or meeting

Standard working hours in Lima and Tokyo barely overlap, so a live call usually means one side joining early in the morning or late in the evening. The least disruptive option is to catch the very start or end of one city’s working day, or to handle things asynchronously.

A note on daylight saving

The difference shown here reflects the current offset between Lima and Tokyo. Because regions switch to and from daylight saving on different dates — and some do not observe it at all — the gap can move by an hour for a few weeks each spring and autumn. If you are booking something months ahead, it is worth re-checking close to the date.
