Tokyo to Los Angeles Time Converter
Convert time between Tokyo and Los Angeles with live clocks and the current, daylight-saving-aware time difference.

Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between Tokyo and Los Angeles?
It can change through the year because one or both cities observe daylight saving, so the converter above shows the current difference live rather than a fixed number. Tokyo uses Asia/Tokyo and Los Angeles uses America/Los_Angeles.
What time is it in Los Angeles when it's 9:00 AM in Tokyo?
Type 9:00 into the Tokyo field above and the converter shows the matching Los Angeles time for today, daylight saving included. It also shows the Los Angeles date in case the time crosses midnight.
Does this converter handle daylight saving between Tokyo and Los Angeles?
Yes. It uses your browser's own time-zone data (Asia/Tokyo for Tokyo, America/Los_Angeles for Los Angeles), which carries each region's daylight-saving rules, so the result stays correct all year.
Can it convert Los Angeles time to Tokyo time as well?
Yes — press the swap button and the converter flips to show Los Angeles → Tokyo, with the same live clocks and time picker.
Is the Tokyo to Los Angeles time conversion accurate and private?
It relies on the standard IANA time-zone database built into your browser, not an approximation, and makes no network calls, so your times stay on your device.
