Eastern part of Hokkaido is over 30 minutes behind and western part of Ryukyu islands is over 30 minutes ahead of local solar time as a single standard time offset of UTC+09:00 is observed in whole country of Japan, even in its easternmost territory, <a href="/wiki/Minamitorishima" title="Minamitorishima">Minamitorishima</a> (153°59′E) and its westernmost territory, <a href="/wiki/Yonaguni" title="Yonaguni">Yonaguni</a> (122°56′E). It makes the sun rise before 04:00 at the summer solstice in much of the Hokkaido region and set shortly after 19:00 at the summer solstice in much of the eastern part of the country.</figcaption></figure> <p>From 1948 to 1952, Japan observed daylight saving time (DST) between May and September every year. The <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> imposed this policy as part of the <a href="/wiki/Occupation_of_Japan" title="Occupation of Japan">Allied occupation of Japan</a>. In 1952, three weeks before the occupation ended, the Japanese government, which had been granted increased powers, abolished daylight saving time, and the Allied occupation authorities did not interfere.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Since then, DST has never been officially implemented nationwide in Japan.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Starting in the late 1990s, a movement to reinstate DST in Japan gained some popularity, aiming at saving energy and increasing recreational time. The <a href="/wiki/Hokkaido" title="Hokkaido">Hokkaido</a> region is particularly in favour of this movement because daylight starts as early as 03:30 (in standard time) there in summer due to its high latitude and its location near the eastern edge of the time zone, with much of the region's solar time actually closer to UTC+10:00. Because of this, the sun sets shortly after 19:00 in much of the eastern part of the country (in Tokyo, the latest sunset of the entire year is 19:01, from 26 June to 1 July, despite being at 35°41'N latitude). Since 2000, a few local governments and commerce departments have promoted unmandated hour-earlier work schedule experiments during the summer without officially resetting clocks.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy of the <a href="/wiki/Cabinet_Office_(Japan)" title="Cabinet Office (Japan)">Cabinet Office</a> is expected<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers"><span title="The time period mentioned near this tag is ambiguous.
