JST to PST Time Converter
Convert Tokyo time to Los Angeles time without losing track of the date. The page starts with both cities and adjusts for Pacific daylight time when needed.
Japan Standard Time and Pacific Time
JST is Japan Standard Time at UTC+9 and stays constant throughout the year. PST is the standard-time offset for Los Angeles at UTC-8; the city switches to PDT during daylight saving time.
Tokyo to Los Angeles time difference
Tokyo is normally 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles on PST. For example, 5:00 PM in Tokyo corresponds to midnight in Los Angeles during the Pacific standard-time season.
During Pacific daylight time, the gap is usually 16 hours, so that same Tokyo time corresponds to 1:00 AM in Los Angeles. Japan does not change clocks, and the selected date controls the Pacific abbreviation.
