Computed on a date when JST is genuinely in force — using today would be wrong for half the year, because a standard-time abbreviation does not exist in summer.

Common questions
What is the difference between JST and UTC?
UTC is 9 hours behind of JST. JST means Japan Standard Time at UTC+9, and UTC means Coordinated Universal Time at UTC+0.
Which time zone does this page use for JST?
Asia/Tokyo. An abbreviation is not a time zone — it is a label a zone wears for part of the year — so every calculation here uses a named IANA zone and says which one. If you are writing code, use Asia/Tokyo rather than the string "JST".
Is JST a daylight saving abbreviation?
No. JST is the standard-time abbreviation. When daylight saving is in force, the same zone uses a different one.
