When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Japan Standard Time and Argentina Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Argentina Time is 12 hours behind Japan Standard Time.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 7 PM–8 PM in Japan Standard Time (7 AM–8 AM in Argentina Time) — suggest 7:00 PM Japan Standard Time (7:00 AM Argentina Time).
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.
