Japan doesn’t do dst, and when you get to the same latitude as about NYC you get sun times like I mentioned. But even in the states the time zones are pretty broad. New York can have sunset after 8, but Michigan is in the same time zone and the sunset is after 9.
Where was that, because it sounds more like they were in the wrong time zone. (Which happens quite often.)
