Time in Kyoto, Japan

Time zone: JST (UTC/GMT +09:00) — Asia/Tokyo

Clocks in Kyoto are set to JST, 9 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+09:00). Software that asks for a region wants Asia/Tokyo — the IANA identifier for this zone.

There is no daylight saving in Kyoto. UTC+09:00 applies all year, so the offset never moves on this side — only the other party's clock changes.

Read this as: relative to each city below, Kyoto is the stated amount ahead or behind, right now.

Overlap of a normal working day, shown in Kyoto time — outside these windows one side is off the clock.

No shared working window exists with New York, Los Angeles, London or Sao Paulo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

These Japan cities also use Asia/Tokyo, so their clocks read identically to Kyoto at every moment of the year.
