Current Time in Fukuoka, Japan

How Fukuoka Keeps Time

Fukuoka keeps JST, UTC+9. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Fukuoka; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Fukuoka runs on the Asia/Tokyo zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+9 right now. There is no daylight saving here, so that offset holds all year and the difference to other places only changes when they move their own clocks.

The sun rises in Fukuoka at 6:30 am today and sets at 5:34 pm — 11 hours 4 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:02 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (33.59, 130.40), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Fukuoka has about 14 hours 23 minutes of daylight in June and 9 hours 55 minutes in December. The difference is about 4 hours 28 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.

The whole of Japan keeps one time, so the clock on this page is also the clock in Tokyo and in every other city listed below.
