Japan Time

Japan is in the East Ninth District. Japan and China are neighboring countries, separated by only one time zone. China is in the East Eighth District, and Japan is one hour ahead of China.

The standard time everywhere is Greenwich Mean Time (G.M.T) plus (+) or minus (-) the time difference between hours and minutes in the time zone. Many countries also adopt daylight saving time (DST), and the United States implements DST from April to September every year, one hour earlier.

Time calculation in different time zones should be followed, with the same reduction and different increase, and the east plus the west minus. "Same" means the same time zone in the east or the same time zone in the west. When the two time zones are subtracted, the time difference between China and Japan is 9-8= 1.
