They are in the wrong timezone, in my opinion. The sun sets super early in the day. If I was the dictator of the planet, I'd set japan's clocks forward by two hours year round. Then the sun would set at 18:40 instead of 16:40 today.
Getting off work and having some daylight is pretty important, IMHO. It is quite hard to do in Japan.
- sjburt 8y agoIt's also pretty annoying in the summer when the sun comes up at 4:30.
- pacificmint 8y agoThere is an interesting map[1] that shows how much the time is off in each location in the world vs solar time. Japan is indeed ahead of solar time, as opposed to many other places on their longitude. (Though perhaps not by two hours). Interestingly, many more places are behind their solar time then places that are ahead of it.
