They say July 13 is the anniversary of Japan Standard Time. In 1886 on this day, the No. 51 order that set 135 degree East longitude is Japan Standard Time and that would be enforced from January 1, 1888 was issued. The name of the city of standard time is Akashi (明石), Hyogo (兵庫) prefecture.
There is only one time zone in Japan. We do not practice summer time. We used to practice daylight saving time from 1948 to 1952 though.
