About the time in Date-shi
Sunrise today lands at 04:49 and sunset at 06:30 local time, giving 13h 42m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.49, 140.89) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Date-shi.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Date-shi day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 00:00–08:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Clocks in Date-shi 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.
