Current Time in Tokyo

Summary

See the live current time and date in Tokyo, Japan (JST, UTC+9) with auto-refresh and a side-by-side comparison with your local time.

How it works

1. The tool reads your device clock using the JavaScript Date API.
2. It converts the current moment to the Asia/Tokyo timezone using Intl.DateTimeFormat with the IANA identifier.
3. The display refreshes every second so the clock stays live and accurate.
4. Japan does not observe Daylight Saving Time — JST is always UTC+9 with no seasonal changes.
5. Your local time and timezone are displayed alongside Tokyo time for easy comparison.
6. A world clock panel shows the same moment in several major cities.
