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). Affects: TSE (Tokyo Stock Exchange) trading hours 09:00-15:00 JST, Tokyo Sumo Grand Tournaments, Shinkansen bullet-train scheduling, Tokyo Disney + USJ park operating hours.
About Western European Time (WET)
Western European Time (WET, IANA: Europe/Lisbon, Atlantic/Faroe) is the civil time during winter for Portugal mainland (excluding the Azores), the Canary Islands (Spain), the Faroe Islands (Denmark), and Iceland uses WET-equivalent year-round (no DST in Iceland). WET is set at UTC+0 — the same offset as GMT — but the distinction is that GMT refers specifically to the time at the Greenwich Observatory while WET is the formal civil-time designation in continental Western European countries. WET observes Daylight Saving Time (switching to WEST — Western European Summer Time = UTC+1) from the last Sunday of March to the last Sunday of October per EU Directive 2000/84/EC. The Azores archipelago (Portuguese Atlantic territory) is one hour behind mainland Portugal at AZOT = UTC-1:00 (winter) / AZOST = UTC+0:00 (summer). WET serves approximately 17 million people. Major cities: Lisbon (550K city, 2.9M metro), Porto (240K), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (380K), Santa Cruz de Tenerife (220K), Reykjavík (130K — Iceland on WET-equivalent), Tórshavn Faroe (13K).
