In Japan, Daylight saving was introduced after World War II by the U.S. occupation but was dispensed with in 1952, following opposition from farmers. Despite efforts by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry to have daylight saving introduced to cut Japan's energy consumption, opposition from farmers and the Ministry of Education (which was concerned that lighter evenings would entice school children from their homework) has continued to win the day.

At the moment there is no daylight savings time. BUT, the government is batting around the idea to start implementing it within the next few years. So, keep a look out. daylight savings time will make an appearance in Japan soon.

No, not only is there no daylight savings time, but the whole country runs on a single time zone. Some of the outlying islands (okinawa) may be different though.
