Developer Code Snippets (JST to UTC)

JavaScript / TypeScript (Intl API)
// Convert current time from JST (Asia/Tokyo) to UTC (UTC)
const now = new Date();
const inUTC = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-US', {
  timeZone: 'UTC',
  dateStyle: 'medium',
  timeStyle: 'long'
}).format(now);
console.log(inUTC);
Python 3.9+ (zoneinfo)
# Python 3.9+ using standard zoneinfo
from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo

dt_jst = datetime.now(ZoneInfo("Asia/Tokyo"))
dt_utc = dt_jst.astimezone(ZoneInfo("UTC"))
print(f"JST: {dt_jst.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %Z')}")
print(f"UTC: {dt_utc.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %Z')}")

Frequently Asked Questions (JST → UTC)

How do I convert JST to UTC?

JST (Japan Standard Time) uses the IANA timezone identifier Asia/Tokyo (standard offset +09:00), while UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) uses UTC (standard offset +00:00). Use the interactive slider or the 24-hour table above to convert any hour accurately with automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustment.

What are the best meeting hours between Tokyo and UTC / Greenwich?

Check the rows highlighted with "Best Meeting Overlap" in the 24-hour table above, where both JST and UTC fall within standard 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM working hours.

Does JST to UTC account for Daylight Saving Time (DST)?

Yes. Castov uses the browser's native IANA tzdb engine (Asia/Tokyo and UTC), which automatically applies official Daylight Saving Time transitions.
