Good to know about the time in Japan
Japan uses Japan Standard Time, UTC+9, all year round, with no daylight saving time. It has been defined since 1888 by the meridian at 135 degrees east, which passes through the city of Akashi, near Kobe. The country used daylight saving time from 1948 to 1951, under the American occupation, then dropped it.
Japan is 8 hours ahead of France in winter and 7 hours ahead in summer: when people get up in Paris, the working day is ending in Tokyo and Osaka. France – Japan time difference
