Meeting Planner
Plan a JST to GMT meeting
Japan Standard Time is the fixed UTC+09:00 time used throughout Japan and does not observe daylight saving time. Greenwich Mean Time is a UTC+00:00 time standard commonly used in Europe, Africa, aviation, and global schedules.
For meetings, begin with the shared business-hours window above. Confirm the date with every participant because abbreviations such as EST, EDT, BST, and CEST describe specific standard or daylight offsets rather than an automatically changing regional clock.
This converter treats JST as UTC+09:00 and GMT as UTC+00:00. Use the city-based converter when you need automatic seasonal IANA timezone rules for a future date.
