From Moscow to Tokyo. It seems, especially with the presence of "burning" offers, that it is very simple: buy a ticket and fly to exotic Japan for Russians. However, an experienced traveler knows: an unpleasant surprise can even throw up time! Everyone who made, or is only planning to make a flight from Russia to Japan, on business or for tourist purposes, without fail thought about how many hours and in which direction he should turn the clock.
How much is the time difference between Moscow and Tokyo?
The clock will have to be moved six hours in advance. Thus, if you flew from Moscow at 12:00, say, September 13, then in Tokyo at that time it was already 18:00 on the same day. And vice versa, if the departure from Tokyo took place, for example, on October 5 at 14:00, in Moscow at that time it will be only 8:00 on October 5. Accurate knowledge of the time difference between Moscow and Tokyo will allow you to take into account the peculiarities of the daily routine and plan your trip more efficiently.
Where does the time difference come from?
The time difference between Moscow and Tokyo appears because these two cities are in different time zones.
Moscow's coordinates on the world map are such that it is located at a latitude of 55 degrees and 45 minutes in the Northern Hemisphere and longitude 37 degrees and 36 minutes in the Eastern Hemisphere. This corresponds to the third time zone from the Greenwich Meridian, that is, by the time now shown at the Greenwich Observatory, you need to add three hours to get the exact Moscow time.
Tokyo coordinates on the world map, in turn, are as follows: 35 degrees and 41 minutes north latitude and 139 degrees and 41 minutes east longitude. That is, Tokyo is located in the ninth time zone from the Greenwich Meridian, which means that to determine the exact time in this city, you need to add nine hours to the time shown by the clock in the Greenwich Observatory.
The time difference between Moscow and Tokyo at six o’clock is six time zones between the capitals that you will have to cross during your trip to Japan.
