Time difference between Sydney and Tokyo

Tokyo is 1 hour behind Sydney

Sydney, Australia is UTC+10 · 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 Sydney goes forward on the first Sunday in October and back on the first Sunday in April and Tokyo does not change its clocks.

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