About the time in Date
Sunrise today lands at 04:58 and sunset at 06:24 local time, giving 13h 27m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (37.82, 140.50) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Date.
Date runs on Asia/Tokyo, which puts the city UTC +9 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Date sits at latitude 37.82, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 27m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
