JST (Japan Standard Time) is 17 hours ahead of PST (Pacific Standard Time). This means when it's 12:00 PM in Los Angeles (PST), it's 5:00 AM in Tokyo (JST).
The best time to call from PST to JST is during overlapping business hours. For PST callers, schedule between 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM PST to ensure both parties are within standard business hours.
The time difference may change during daylight saving transitions if one region observes DST while the other doesn't. Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8 (PST) / UTC-7 (PDT)) and Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) may have different DST schedules.
PST includes cities like Los Angeles. JST includes cities like Tokyo. Both time zones cover important business and cultural centers.
In 2025, DST in North America starts on March 9 at 2:00 AM and ends on November 2 at 2:00 AM. Other regions may have different DST schedules or not observe DST at all.
