About the time in Kitaakita-shi

Sunrise today lands at 04:59 and sunset at 06:21 local time, giving 13h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.23, 140.40) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kitaakita-shi.
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.
