About the time in Aratokō
The zone identifier Asia/Tokyo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Tokyo keeps pointing at Tokyo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 04:59 and sunset at 06:27 local time, giving 13h 28m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.18, 140.09) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Aratokō.
Clocks in Aratokō stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +9 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Japan.
