How does this tool work?
Convert Gregorian dates to Japanese era years from Meiji through Reiwa, and back again.
The tool applies the exact transition dates between eras. For Meiji dates before Japan adopted the Gregorian calendar, the displayed civil date uses the proleptic Gregorian calendar. The result depends on the conventions of the calendar or phenomenon being calculated. The engine validates the entered values, applies the relevant conversion rules or astronomical formulas, and returns a localized result. For solar calculations, geographic position, time zone and date can materially change the output.
