About the time in Okinawa
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 07:00 local time, giving 12h 58m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (26.50, 127.93) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Okinawa.
Okinawa 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.
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.
