When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Fukuoka and São Paulo don't overlap on the same weekday. São Paulo is 12 hours behind Fukuoka.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 PM–8 PM in Fukuoka (7 AM–8 AM in São Paulo) — suggest 7:00 PM Fukuoka (7:00 AM São Paulo).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
