Yesterday I reported the average time of coming home from work among Japanese people. The average time is 19:30 (arrival time) for men. But it was very different from my impression. I am living in Tokyo, and many workers around me do not reach home before 19:30. I checked yesterday's data by region, and found the average coming home time of Tokyo residents is 20:28. It is one hour later than the nation's average. There is much work in Tokyo.
Table : Average time of coming home from work among Tokyo people on weekdays
| Number of samples | Population 15 years and over (1000) | Participation rate in coming home from work (％) | Average time of oming home from work | |
| Men | 613 | 4,306 | 88.1 | 20:28 |
| Women | 482 | 3,099 | 77.5 | 18:37 |
