Did You Know?
The Peace Memorial Museum keeps a clock showing the days since the 6 August 1945 bombing and the days since the most recent nuclear test anywhere in the world. The second number resets more often than most visitors expect.
The clock: Hiroshima keeps UTC+9. The Peace Flame has burned continuously since 1964 and is intended to be extinguished only when the last nuclear weapon is gone.
Hiroshima lies at 132.5°E. Its time zone, UTC+9, is built around the 135°E meridian. The 2.5° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 10 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:10 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+9 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 27m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 51m. The swing between them is 4h 36m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Hiroshima the sun comes up earliest on 13 June at 04:57, while the latest sunset waits until 1 July at 19:26. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Hiroshima that civil twilight runs about 25 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
