Tokyo Stock Exchange domestic stock trading is split into morning and afternoon sessions. JPX lists the morning session from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM and the afternoon session from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM Japan time.
This page uses Asia/Tokyo for conversion. Japan does not observe daylight saving time, so seasonal shifts usually come from the user's local timezone rather than Tokyo.

Planning around Tokyo hours
For U.S. users, Tokyo trading usually occurs during the evening or overnight. For European users, it often falls early in the morning. The homepage timezone selector helps show whether the converted session crosses your local calendar day.
JPX also publishes order acceptance periods and holiday rules. For trading operations, use the official JPX page rather than relying only on a summarized schedule.
