Time & Dates

Once you learn how to count in Japanese, telling time is no harder than in English. Ali you have to do is say the word for the numeral and add a simple suffix. For example, to say 5 o’clock, you say the word for 5, go, add the suffix meaning ‘o’clock\ji, and you’ve goi go-ji.

To express a fraction of an hour, combine the word for the hour with the word for the minutes. For example, 5.15 would be 5 o’clock, goj i, + 15 minutes, jugofun, or goji ju gofun.

The half-hour is expressed by han; 5.30 would therefore be gojihan.

Learn the military or 24-hour time system before arriving in Japan, because this system is used for train and bus schedules - 1300 is 1 o’clock, 1800 is 6 o’clock, etc.
