Time Difference: Tokyo to Cairo

Summary

Tokyo operates on Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9), which never observes daylight saving time. Cairo follows Eastern European Time (EET, UTC+2) and switches to Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+3) during summer DST. The gap is therefore 7 hours in winter and 6 hours in summer. This tool shows the live current times in both cities and lets you pick any hour in one city to see the equivalent in the other.

How it works

1. The tool reads your browser's system clock for the current UTC time.
2. Tokyo time is always UTC+9 — no daylight saving adjustment needed.
3. Cairo's offset is computed from the current date: UTC+3 (last Friday of April through last Thursday of October) or UTC+2 otherwise.
4. The difference banner shows how many hours Tokyo leads Cairo right now.
5. Use the converter section to pick any hour in Tokyo or Cairo and see the corresponding time in the other city.
