The two zones in context

PDT vs JST — cities and working rhythm

PDT — Pacific Daylight Time
Primary cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver (summer)

US West Coast summer offset (mid-March to early November), UTC-7. During PDT, the 7-h gap with UTC / London simplifies daylight-hour overlap — 9 AM PT = 5 PM London (BST).

JST — Japan Standard Time
Primary cities: Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo, Nagoya, Fukuoka

Japan — one of the few large economies that has no DST, so JST is JST year-round (UTC+9). Business hours 9 AM – 6 PM JST with strong presence-based culture (staying past 7 PM is common). Same offset as Korean Standard Time (KST).

Time gap: JST is 16.0 hours ahead of PDT (standard-time offsets — daylight-saving flips shift this by an hour twice a year in most northern-hemisphere zones).
