Convert Tokyo to New York

Common questions

What is the time difference between Tokyo and New York?

The panel at the top of this page shows it for the current moment, computed live from the IANA timezone database. It isn't a fixed number of hours: when Tokyo or New York shifts on or off daylight saving time, the gap changes by an hour. Enter a specific date in the box to see the difference for that exact moment.

What time is it in New York right now?

The New York panel above shows the current local time there, ticking live, right next to Tokyo so you can compare at a glance. To check a different moment instead of now, type it into the box and both zones update together.

How do I convert a specific time, not just now?

Type or paste any timestamp into the box above (a Unix number, an ISO 8601 string like 2026-06-01T11:10:52Z, or plain text like “June 1 2026 3:00 pm”) and the panel shows that exact instant in both Tokyo and New York, along with UTC and Unix time. A value with no timezone is read as your own local time, and parsetime tells you when that happens.

Does parsetime handle daylight saving time correctly?

Yes. Eastern Time shifts between EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer. parsetime uses the official IANA timezone database, so the offset is always right for the exact date you enter. Because the gap is computed for the exact instant shown, not a fixed offset, the Tokyo/New York difference stays right even on the days around a clock change.
