Hours is a plural
Plurals are used when there is more than one of something, and you are talking about 6 hours.
If it was a single hour, then you would use the singular 'you are an hour ahead of me'.

Because in this sentence the focus is on the singular 'time difference' not the number of hours.

Ok, but I find this sentece, so why they didn't write in plural.
There is a nine hour time difference between Tokyo and London.
