Why Doesn't the Yokohama, Dubai Time Difference Change?

Japan and the United Arab Emirates both keep their clocks fixed. Japan last tried daylight saving under Allied occupation from 1948 to 1951. It was abolished in 1952. A 2011 energy-crisis study by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry concluded costs outweighed benefits. No legislation is pending.

The UAE has never observed DST.

Because neither side moves, you never recalculate the gap. This is unlike Yokohama vs London, where the difference shifts between 8 and 9 hours when British Summer Time begins and ends.

What Is the Flight Time from Dubai to Yokohama?

Fly into Tokyo Narita (NRT) or Haneda (HND). From Dubai (DXB), the flight is roughly 10 hours westbound. Add 90 minutes by limousine bus or train to reach Yokohama. The eastbound return runs about 11 hours.

Westbound jet lag hits harder. Depart Dubai and you lose 5 hours. You land in the evening, but your body clock is stuck in the afternoon. Eastbound is gentler: you gain 5 hours.
