Kyoto is located at 35.01°N, 135.77°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Asia/Tokyo timezone (GMT+9). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Kyoto this falls around 11:56 in mid-summer and 11:47 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
