Select a meeting window on the grid: Click Select to enable selection mode, then drag across Kariya’s row on the 24-hour timeline to highlight a time range in purple. For example, drag from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Kariya and you will see that this corresponds to 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM in New York the previous day during Eastern Daylight Time, or 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM during Eastern Standard Time, which helps confirm whether a morning meeting in Japan is realistic for US participants.
Export and share the chosen time: After selecting the range, use the export options shown on the page: ICS download, Google Calendar, Gmail, Copy to clipboard, or Share link. This is especially useful when sending a production review meeting to colleagues in Japan, Europe, and the US, because each person will see the time converted automatically into their own local calendar.
About Kariya Time Zone
Kariya uses the Asia/Tokyo IANA time zone, the standard time zone for all of Japan. Its standard offset is UTC+9, also written as JST (Japan Standard Time), and this offset applies year-round across the country, including Kariya, Nagoya, Osaka, Tokyo, and Sapporo.
Japan does not currently observe daylight saving time, so Kariya stays at UTC+9 throughout the year. That makes scheduling more predictable than in countries where clocks shift in March and October or November; the time difference between Kariya and cities such as London, New York, and Sydney changes only because those places may enter or leave DST, not because Kariya changes its clocks.
Kariya is located in Aichi Prefecture in central Honshu, near Nagoya, one of Japan’s most important industrial and logistics hubs. In practical terms, Kariya shares the same local time as all neighboring Japanese cities and regions, and it is 1 hour behind Seoul during Korean Standard Time? No—Kariya and Seoul are actually both UTC+9 for most of the year, while Kariya is 1 hour ahead of Beijing and Singapore (UTC+8) and 5 hours ahead of Dubai (UTC+4).

If you need to call Kariya from abroad, Japan’s country dialing code is +81, and domestic numbers typically omit the leading trunk zero when dialed internationally.
Because Kariya is part of Japan’s highly connected transport and business system, knowing the city’s exact time and contact details is useful for factory visits, engineering coordination, and travel planning.
