Time difference between Berlin and Tokyo

Tokyo is 7 hours ahead of Berlin

Berlin, Germany is UTC+1 · Tokyo, Japan is UTC+9 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Berlin goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Tokyo does not change its clocks.

Tokyo stays put all year while Berlin moves, so a meeting fixed in Tokyo's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Berlin's end.
