Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (JST) at UTC+9. Japan has not observed daylight saving time since 1951, keeping the offset permanent.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange opens at 9 AM, which is midnight in London, 7 PM the previous evening in New York, and 8 AM in Singapore. As the world’s third-largest economy, Japan’s market hours ripple across global finance.

From automotive manufacturing to anime distribution, Tokyo coordinates an enormous volume of international business that requires awareness of time differences spanning 17 hours to the U.S. West Coast.
