EST vs JST
EST (Eastern Standard Time) runs at UTC−5 and JST (Japan Standard Time) at UTC+9. JST is normally 14 hours ahead of EST.
EST is the standard time (UTC−5); when daylight saving is in effect it becomes EDT (UTC−4). The live clock on this page always shows the current offset. JST stays at UTC+9 all year round — it does not observe daylight saving time.
