Complete Time Zone Guide for Japan
SyncMyTime provides precise time for Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and all regions of Japan. Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9) is maintained year-round without daylight saving, ensuring consistency for this island nation known for punctuality and precision.
Time Zone History
Japan adopted Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) in 1888, standardizing time across all regions. During the post-WWII occupation (1948-1951), daylight saving was briefly implemented but was so unpopular it was abandoned immediately after occupation ended. Japan has steadfastly refused to reintroduce DST, valuing stability and tradition.
Culture & Daily Rhythm
Japanese daily life is famously structured and punctual. The workday traditionally runs 9 AM-6 PM, though overtime is common. Rush hour (7-9 AM, 6-8 PM) is precisely predictable. Evening socializing begins around 6-7 PM with after-work gatherings. The legendary shinkansen (bullet train) system operates on split-second precision, reflecting national time consciousness.
