How does daylight saving affect GST to JST?

The labels GST and JST are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. Neither side changes its clocks for daylight saving, so the difference you see here is the same in summer and winter.

Why can you trust this GST to JST converter?

Every conversion here is calculated from the IANA time zone database — the same source your phone, computer, and browser rely on. Plenty of tools hard-code a single offset, which quietly goes wrong whenever a region changes its rules or flips for daylight saving. We follow the real rules instead, so GST to JST stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.
