JST stands for Japan Standard Time, a fixed UTC+9 offset used by the whole of Japan. There is no seasonal switch, so JST means the same thing in January as in July, and the clock above stays UTC+9 every day of the year. A single zone covers the country end to end, and South Korea keeps the same UTC+9 reading under the name KST.

Common questions
- What time is it in JST right now?

- What UTC offset is JST?
- UTC+9, all year: Japan Standard Time, abbreviated JST. There is no summer variant to remember.
- Does JST observe daylight saving time?
- No. JST stays on Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) throughout the year, so the offset to UTC never moves.
