Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in Mexico City and one in Tokyo — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in Mexico City is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Tokyo.

Central Time – Mexico (CST) is used in most of Mexico. Mexico abolished daylight saving in October 2022, so it no longer tracks US Central Time in summer.
