Common questions
What is JST in EST?
EST is 13 hours behind JST today: noon in JST is 23:00 in EST.
Is JST the same all year?
JST refers to the offset used by Asia/Tokyo. Where that zone observes daylight saving, the letters change with it, which is why this site stores the identifier and not the abbreviation.
When can JST and EST meet?
They do not overlap during working hours. 06:00–07:00 your time (17:00 there) is the cheapest compromise.
