Japan operates on Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9) all year and does not observe daylight saving time. Germany uses Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer. From late March to late October, when Germany is on CEST, Germany is 7 hours behind Japan, so when it is 12:00 in Tokyo, it is 05:00 in Frankfurt or Munich. From late October to late March, when Germany is on CET, Germany is 8 hours behind Japan, so 12:00 in Tokyo corresponds to 04:00 in Frankfurt or Munich.
