Does the gap change during the year?

Yes, because of daylight saving. Until 1 Nov 2026: JST is 16 h ahead of PST. From 1 Nov 2026 to 14 Mar 2027: JST is 17 h ahead of PST. From 14 Mar 2027 to 7 Nov 2027: JST is 16 h ahead of PST.

PST next changes its clocks on 1 Nov 2026 (back 1 h, to UTC−8), then on 14 Mar 2027 (forward 1 h, to UTC−7). JST does not change its clocks.
