Questions
What’s the time difference between JST and EST?
Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) is 14 hours ahead of EST (UTC−5): 9:00 AM Tuesday in Tokyo is 7:00 PM Monday in New York. From the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November New York is on EDT, and the difference is 13 hours.
Does Japan have daylight saving time?
No. Japan has kept UTC+9 all year since 1951, so only the US clock changes move the difference. The whole country, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, is on one time zone.
When can Tokyo and New York meet?
Evening in New York is the next morning in Tokyo: 7:00 to 9:00 PM EST is 9:00 to 11:00 AM JST, and in summer 8:00 to 10:00 PM EDT is 9:00 to 11:00 AM. The other option is early morning in New York, which is late evening in Tokyo.
