From Wikipedia:
However, if there was a very large subduction zone earthquake ( magnitude 9.0) off the west coast of the United States, for example, people in Japan would have up to 18 hours (and likely warnings from warning systems in Hawaii and elsewhere) before any tsunami arrived, giving them some time to get away to higher ground.
