526# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-03-06):
527# Today's _Asahi Evening News_ (page 4) reports that Japan had
528# daylight saving between 1948 and 1951, but ``the system was discontinued
529# because the public believed it would lead to longer working hours.''
530# Shanks writes that daylight saving in Japan during those years was as follows:

536# but the only locations using it were US military bases.
537# We go with Shanks and omit daylight saving in those years for Asia/Tokyo.

539# The same news article also reports that Japan is likely to go on DST in 1996
