Akashi

Strictly speaking, it should be 中央標準時.

Isn't it just coincidence that Akashi falls under 135 degree longitude? Clock was originally adjusted by astronomical measurement done in Mitaka, Tokyo, and now it is done by atomic clocks in Communications Research Laboratory in Tokyo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.110.58.166 (talk) 18:26, 1 February 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The the Japanese standard meridian is defined as E135. It is coincidence that Akashi is the only wellknown city under the meridian. Takanoha 13:54, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Date of Ordinance?

The article contains conflicting dates. The image caption says:

issued on December 27, Meiji 28 (1895)

But the article text says:

In 1886, an Imperial Ordinance was issued

Are the ordinances regarding the same event? The text appears similar. Also, can anyone explain the name of the image? It is called Image:Daylight saving time004006.png but I don't see anything in the article about a Daylight saving time. Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo 02:14, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The image shows an ordinance issued in 1895--the event discussed at the last paragraph of the article. I moved the picture to make this a little clearer. Maybe we should put more text about a change made in 1895. -- Taku 04:43, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thank you for updating the page, it is more clear now. --ChrisRuvolo 04:52, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Copyright?

The current article seems to be taking major part from the referenced (now defunct) web page. What is the copyright status?Fukumoto 03:11, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I got the most of information from that website. Since I am not copying materials from the site, I don't see any problem. Remember information cannot be copyrighted. -- Taku 01:01, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

Translation

Could anyone who speaks Japanese please consider writing a translation of the proclamation? Kairos 11:38, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Daylight savings in Japan?

Totally anecdotal, but: I once asked my Japanese teacher if Japan observed Daylight savings. She claimed that the government tried it years ago, but the people ignored the new time. But I find no mention of that here. Was my teacher telling stories, or was there such an incident?--68.13.152.75 05:21, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was, between 1948—1951. (ref. ja:夏時間) --Fukumoto 16:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interactive "current jst time"?

i think it would be neat if someone wrote a script that printed the current JST time - something like the counter on Eternal September, but probably more complex? it would help me and a lot of other people 87.244.93.152 00:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GMT vs UTC

Shouldn't the standard time deviation be from UTC not GMT? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.98.246.9 (talk) 20:24, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
