Time in Yamagata, Japan

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

If you need the offset: Yamagata is on JST, 9 hours ahead of UTC, i.e. UTC+09:00. The matching IANA zone is Asia/Tokyo.

Yamagata does not change its clocks. The same UTC+09:00 offset holds in January and July, which makes it a stable anchor for recurring calls.

With a population near 248,772, Yamagata comes in 72nd of the 208 Japan cities we list.

Current gap between Yamagata and cities people most often need to coordinate with. These figures already account for daylight saving where it applies.

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Yamagata local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.

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 Yamagata at every moment of the year.
