Common questions

How many hours ahead is Tokyo of Melbourne?

Tokyo is 1 hour behind Melbourne right now. The gap is not fixed: it moves whenever either side changes its clocks.

What is the best time to call between Melbourne and Tokyo?

Any hour in 10:00–18:00 Melbourne time is inside working hours in both cities.

Do Melbourne and Tokyo change clocks on the same date?

Only one of them does, so the gap between them changes twice a year even though neither city moved relative to the sun.
