It depends on the date. New York changes its clocks for daylight saving time and Tokyo doesn't, so the difference shifts by an hour when clocks change. The live clock at the top of this page always shows the current difference.

When is the best time to call Tokyo from New York?

Aim for the hours when you're both between 8 AM and 10 PM. For most of the year, there are two good windows: the morning in New York (the evening in Tokyo) and the evening in New York (the morning in Tokyo). Every day of the year, 7 PM to 10 PM in New York is a safe bet.
