Best Time to Call Japan from Costa Rica
When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.
Time Zone in Costa Rica:
CST (UTC−6)
Time Zone in Japan:
JST (UTC+9)
Consider business hours (9am-5pm) in Japan for business calls. For personal calls, evenings and weekends are usually best, avoiding very late hours.
Costa Rica operates on Central Standard Time year-round (UTC-6) without observing daylight saving time, making time calculations consistent throughout the year. For optimal calling times, aim for late morning to early afternoon in your timezone if you're calling from Europe or Asia, or early evening if calling from North America's east coast, to reach Costa Ricans during their typical business hours of 9 AM to 5 PM local time. Japan operates on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round with no daylight saving time changes. For the best chance of reaching someone during business hours (9 AM-6 PM JST), call between 5 PM-2 AM UTC the previous day, and remember that Japan is typically 13-17 hours ahead of US time zones depending on your location and DST observance.
