Apparently this is June 10th.
Can anyone shed any light as to whether this is Japan-exclusive and what it's known as in English?

disagree  casey: If you were going to give a literal translation it would be "day of time". Anyway, it's wrong.

disagree  Will Matter: with casey. You have the modifier and the noun modified backwards and this answer is not correct. 'Time of day' would be 'Hi no toki' and not the term given here.
