Tokyo is the capital and largest city of Japan, and the most populous metropolitan area on Earth, home to over 37 million people. It operates on Japan Standard Time (JST), which is UTC+9 — a fixed offset that never changes, as Japan does not observe Daylight Saving Time. Japan abolished DST after a brief post-WWII experiment, and today JST remains one of the most stable major time zones in the world. Tokyo is a global powerhouse of technology, finance, and culture. The Tokyo Stock Exchange is one of the world's largest by market capitalization. Japan's bullet train (Shinkansen) network is famous for punctuality down to the second, reflecting the country's deep cultural relationship with precise timekeeping. Tokyo was formerly known as Edo and became Japan's capital in 1869 when the Imperial family relocated from Kyoto. The city hosts major global tech giants and is the creative hub of anime, manga, and video game industries.
