Common questions
- What time zone is Tokyo in?
- Tokyo uses the Asia/Tokyo time zone, currently UTC+9. Use the IANA identifier rather than the abbreviation in code — abbreviations are ambiguous, and this one may mean something else somewhere else.
- Does Tokyo observe daylight saving time?
- No. Tokyo keeps UTC+9 all year round, so its offset from UTC never changes.
- What is the difference between Tokyo and UTC?
- UTC+9 as of the last rebuild. That figure is constant, because the city does not change its clocks.
- When does the sun rise and set in Tokyo?
- On the day of the last rebuild, sunrise was 05:06 and sunset 18:23 local time, giving 13 hours 18 minutes of daylight. These are computed from the city’s latitude and longitude, not fetched from anywhere.
