Current Time in Hiroshima, Japan

How Hiroshima Keeps Time

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

Hiroshima 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 Hiroshima at 6:23 am today and sets at 5:25 pm — 11 hours 2 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 11:54 am. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (34.39, 132.46), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Hiroshima has about 14 hours 27 minutes of daylight in June and 9 hours 51 minutes in December. The difference is about 4 hours 36 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.
