This page is useful when you need to coordinate a business call with a client in Japan, plan a train or flight connection through Fukui Prefecture, or schedule a remote team handoff with colleagues in Asia and North America.

2. Add the cities you need to compare: Click + Add City and search for cities such as New York, London, Sydney, or Dubai to build a practical schedule view.

For example, if you drag a morning slot in Tsuruga, Japan, you can immediately see whether it lands in green work hours for London or falls into the night range for New York, which helps avoid scheduling an early-morning call that becomes a late-night meeting overseas.

4. Export the final meeting time: Once a range is selected, use ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link to send the plan to others. This is useful when a distributed team needs the same time in their own calendars, or when you want to share a clean link with a supplier, customer, or travel companion without retyping the details.
