About Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Eastern Standard Time (EST, IANA: America/New_York, America/Toronto) is the time zone for the US Eastern Seaboard and Canadian eastern provinces, set at UTC-5:00. EST is the most economically and politically significant US time zone, serving the NYC-Washington DC-Boston-Atlanta-Miami corridor of ~150 million people across the entire US Eastern region (New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida except panhandle, Ohio, Kentucky eastern, Tennessee eastern, Indiana most, Michigan most), eastern Canada (Quebec, Ontario), and the Caribbean (Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Panama since 1908). EST observes DST per Energy Policy Act 2005 (switching to EDT = UTC-4:00 from March to November). NYSE official market hours 09:30-16:00 EST/EDT, Wall Street financial reporting, US Federal Government Washington DC working hours, and US Capitol legislative sessions all reference EST/EDT. The historical 'Big Three' US TV-network prime-time was 8-11 PM EST.
About Japan Standard Time (JST)
Japan Standard Time (JST, IANA: Asia/Tokyo) is the civil time of Japan, set at UTC+9:00 year-round (no DST). Japan observed Daylight Saving Time only briefly during American Occupation (1948-1951) and discontinued it after the Treaty of San Francisco. JST is also called Nippon Hyōjunji (日本標準時) and is officially maintained by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) — Japan operates a sophisticated atomic-clock-based timekeeping system at NICT Koganei facility with caesium beam frequency standards CSF-2 + Sr-87 optical lattice clock. JST is identical in offset to Korea Standard Time (KST), Yakutsk Time (Russian Far East), Western Indonesian Time WIT (eastern Indonesia), and Palau Time (PWT). JST serves Japan's approximately 125 million residents across 47 prefectures. Major JST cities: Tokyo (14M city, 37M metro — the world's largest metropolitan area by population), Yokohama (3.8M — Tokyo bay metro), Osaka (2.7M, Kansai region 19M metro), Nagoya (2.3M, Chukyo region 9.5M metro), Sapporo (1.9M — Hokkaido capital), Fukuoka (1.6M — Kyushu hub), Kobe (1.5M), Kawasaki (1.5M), Saitama (1.3M).
