Common questions
- What is the time difference between Los Angeles and Tokyo?
- Tokyo is 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles in winter and 16 hours ahead in summer, when Los Angeles is on PDT. The table on this page lists common Los Angeles hours with their Tokyo equivalents, and the converter gives the exact gap for any date you enter.
- What time is it in Tokyo right now?
- The Tokyo panel at the top of the page shows the current local time there, next to Los Angeles, so you can compare at a glance. The offset line under it reports the gap for this moment, so you do not have to work out which side of a clock change you are on.
- How do I convert a specific Los Angeles time to Tokyo?
- Type the Los Angeles time into the box and the panel shows the same moment in Tokyo. For example, 09:00 in Los Angeles on 1 June 2026 is 01:00 the next day in Tokyo. A time with no zone is read as Los Angeles on this page; the selector under the box switches that to Tokyo or to your own zone, and a Unix number or an ISO 8601 string with an offset is always read as written.
- Does the Los Angeles to Tokyo difference change with daylight saving time?
- Yes, twice. Los Angeles moves its clocks on 8 March and 1 November in 2026, while Tokyo stays at UTC+9 all year, so the gap changes by an hour on each of those dates. parsetime computes the offset for the exact instant you enter, so the days around a change come out right as well.
