About time in Tokyo
Japan keeps a single time zone nine hours ahead of UTC and has not observed daylight saving since the early 1950s, when a brief postwar experiment was abandoned. That stability makes Tokyo an easy anchor for scheduling: its offset never moves, so any drift in the gap to your city comes from your clocks changing, not Japan's. Tokyo is usually the first major financial centre to open each trading day.
