🇯🇵 โตเกียว

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the world's largest metropolitan areas, with about 9.7 million residents in the city proper near 36 degrees north latitude. It observes Japan Standard Time at UTC+9 and does not use daylight saving, keeping local clocks nine hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time in every season. Positioned in the Northern Hemisphere at a temperate latitude, the city experiences marked seasonal change in daylight while its offset stays fixed. Japan applies a single nationwide zone, and Tokyo's constant UTC+9 places it among the easternmost of the major world time bands, well ahead of Europe and the Americas.
