Asia/Tokyo · UTC+9
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.
