Daylight saving

EST is New York’s winter clock. Right now New York is on EDT (UTC−4), not EST. It switches to EST on Sunday, November 1, 2026 and back on Sunday, March 14, 2027.

JST doesn’t change for daylight saving.

If you mean the clocks in Tokyo and New York, whatever they’re on: Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of New York now, then 14 hours from Sunday, November 1, 2026, then 13 hours from Sunday, March 14, 2027.
