This city’s business rhythm

Tokyo — JST year-round, no DST

Tokyo runs on JST (UTC+9) year-round with no DST. Same offset as Osaka, Sapporo, Fukuoka. Also same offset as Seoul (KST). Business hours 9 AM - 6 PM formally but presence culture stretches this to 7-8 PM at large employers. TSE (Tokyo Stock Exchange) trading runs 9 AM - 3 PM JST with a 1-h lunch break. Tokyo is 14 h ahead of New York (winter) / 13 h (summer).

Regional context

Timezones across East Asia

East Asia — China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Mongolia — sits mostly at UTC+8 (China's single-timezone policy across the whole country) or UTC+9 (Japan, Korea). None observe DST anymore (Japan ended its post-WW2 experiment in the 1950s), so offsets are fixed. The region's single-large-zone footprint makes cross-Asia coordination unusually easy compared to Europe or North America.
