Japan Standard TimeAsia/TokyoNo DST
09:00–17:00 local is the honest clock for Kyoto. Kyoto does not shift for daylight saving; the clock stays UTC+9 all year. In the Karasuma offices, a message at 19:00 is not 'catching them at the desk' — it is borrowing their night. Tourism never sleeps; offices do. Gion nights are not your coworker's hours. If the verdict would be NOT NOW, wait. Courtesy compounds. On an ordinary weekday in Kyoto, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
