About PST and JST
US Pacific Time (PST/PDT) is used in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego and Vancouver. Clocks shift to PDT (daylight time) from March to November.
Japan Standard Time (JST) is used across Japan, including Tokyo and Osaka. Japan does not observe daylight saving time.
Time difference between PST and JST
JST is 17 hours ahead of PST in winter (January) and 16 hours ahead of PST in summer (July), because of daylight saving changes. The clocks and table above are computed live from the official IANA time zone database in your browser, so daylight saving transitions are always already included.
