Current time in Tokyo

Tokyo time zone

Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time without seasonal clock changes. Japan's national clock also applies in Osaka and Sapporo; North American calls frequently involve different calendar dates rather than only a different hour.

The named time zone for Tokyo is Asia/Tokyo. For 2026, January 15 uses UTC+9 and July 15 uses UTC+9. These two reference dates have the same offset; they are not a guarantee about every historical or future date. The live reading above uses your browser's time-zone data and your device clock.

When organizing a call to Tokyo, include the full calendar date and a named zone in the invitation. Check the converter for that date instead of adding a remembered number of hours: the other person's region may change clocks even when this destination does not. Overnight flights and late calls can arrive on a different local day. Keep Tokyo alongside other destinations in the world clock to compare today's readings; use the date-specific converter for future appointments.
