How prayer times are calculated in Japan

Pages for Japan use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+9). In the capital Tokyo, Fajr is about 2:37 AM and Maghrib 7:00 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:15 AM and Maghrib at 4:31 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 45 min to 14 h 35 min.

Our cities in Japan stretch from Ishigaki in the west to Nemuro in the east, and from Wakkanai in the north to Ishigaki in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Nemuro about 86 minutes before Ishigaki, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Tokyo cannot replace that of your own city.

Ramadan in Japan

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected around 8 February 2027), the fast in Tokyo lasts roughly 12 h 06 min at the start of the month and 13 h 06 min at the end, with imsak at 4:59 AM and iftar at 5:15 PM on the first day. These times change from one city to another, so open your city’s page for the exact imsak and iftar times.

To reach your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or browse the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable you can print and links to nearby cities.
