Current time in Japan

Asia/Tokyo · UTC+9
The current time in Japan is Japan Standard Time (JST), UTC+9. There is no summer-time switch to allow for, so the offset is the same all year. Japan has not used daylight saving since a short-lived postwar experiment ended in 1951, and proposals to revive it have gone nowhere since. The clock above ticks once a second in the Asia/Tokyo zone.

Common questions
- What time is it in Japan right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Japan, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. Because Japan is always UTC+9, the reading is UTC shifted by that fixed amount.
- What is the UTC offset in Japan?
- UTC+9, all year: Japan Standard Time, abbreviated JST. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does Japan observe daylight saving time?
- No. Japan stays on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
- What is the IANA timezone for Japan?
- Asia/Tokyo. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Japan rather than one fixed number.
