JST vs EST
JST (Japan Standard Time) runs at UTC+9 and EST (Eastern Standard Time) at UTC−5. EST is normally 14 hours behind JST.
JST stays at UTC+9 all year round — it does not observe daylight saving time. 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.
