Tokyo and Sydney Time Difference: An Asia-Pacific Time Guide
How many hours apart are Tokyo and Sydney? Learn how Australian daylight saving time affects the time between the two cities.
The Time Difference Changes with the Seasons
Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) year-round. Sydney uses UTC+10 during standard time and UTC+11 during daylight saving time.
As a result, Sydney is usually one or two hours ahead of Tokyo, depending on the date. The Southern Hemisphere’s seasons are opposite to those of the Northern Hemisphere, which is worth noting when scheduling international meetings.
How to Confirm the Exact Time
Enter the date of your meeting or trip and select Tokyo and Sydney to convert. Avoid projecting an activity months ahead based only on the current time difference, since both offsets may change in the meantime.
When sending invitations, note the local date and time for both sides, especially for arrangements that cross midnight.
