Converting GMT to JST

Converting time from GMT (London, United Kingdom) to JST (Tokyo, Japan) means adjusting for the offset between the two zones — and that offset can shift by an hour twice a year because London and Tokyo may observe Daylight Saving Time on different schedules. The converter below uses the IANA time-zone database (Europe/LondonAsia/Tokyo), which carries the full DST history and ruleset. Type a time in either side, pick the date, and the matching local time on the other side updates with the correct offset for that exact day. Need to compare more than these two zones? Open the full Time Zone Converter to add up to 6 zones at once, or use the Unix Timestamp Converter for epoch-to-date arithmetic across zones.

Frequently asked questions

What is the time difference between GMT and JST?
The offset between GMT (London) and JST (Tokyo) is computed for the exact date you select using the browser's IANA time-zone database. Both zones may observe Daylight Saving Time on different schedules, so the gap can shift by an hour twice a year. The converter handles this automatically — type a time in either field and the other side updates with the correct offset for that date.
