About the time in Sōka
Around 249,645 people live in Sōka, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sōka sits at latitude 35.84, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 21m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
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.
