Asia/Tokyo · UTC+9
Tokyo runs on Japan Standard Time (JST), a fixed UTC+9 offset. Clocks are never moved for daylight saving here, so the gap to UTC is identical in January and July. Tokyo is nine hours ahead of UTC and, with no daylight saving anywhere in Japan, the gap to London swings only because London itself changes. The clock above reads the Asia/Tokyo zone directly and is accurate to the second.

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