Local facts
Japan uses Japan Standard Time (JST), which is UTC+9 hours.
Japan does not observe Daylight Saving Time. The country remains on Japan Standard Time (JST), UTC+9, throughout the year.
Japan Standard Time (JST) is the same as Korea Standard Time (KST) in South Korea and Yakutsk Time (YAKT) in parts of Russia. It is 1 hour ahead of China Standard Time (CST) and Hong Kong Time (HKT).
Daylight Saving Time was abolished after World War II because the Japanese people found DST to be inconvenient, as it disrupted their daily routines and work schedules. There has been no strong push to reinstate it since.
