Tokyo is 8 hours ahead of Stockholm during Central European Time (or 7 hours during CEST). Stockholm uses Central European Time (CET/CEST, UTC+1/+2) while Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9). When it's 12:00 PM in Stockholm, it's 8:00 PM in Tokyo (or 7:00 PM during Stockholm's daylight saving time).
Stockholm observes daylight saving time while Japan does not, so the difference varies between 7 and 8 hours throughout the year.
Best calling time: 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM Stockholm time. This corresponds to 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM in Tokyo (or 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM during CEST), catching late afternoon business hours in Japan.
Sweden and Japan have strong business relationships, particularly in automotive and tech industries. Swedish companies like Volvo and Ericsson have partnerships with Japanese firms. Tokyo's evening overlaps with Stockholm's morning, providing a brief window for real-time collaboration.
