PST to JST Time Converter
Compare Los Angeles and Tokyo time for international schedules. This converter makes the next-day change visible when Pacific morning becomes Japan night.
PST and Japan Standard Time
PST is Pacific Standard Time at UTC-8 in Los Angeles during standard time. JST is Japan Standard Time at UTC+9 in Tokyo, and Japan does not observe daylight saving time.
Los Angeles to Tokyo time difference
Tokyo is 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles when Los Angeles uses PST. An 8:00 AM start in Los Angeles is 1:00 AM the next day in Tokyo.
When Los Angeles is on PDT, the usual gap is 16 hours instead. Tokyo remains on JST all year, so spring and autumn Pacific transitions can change the displayed difference and the calendar date.
