Kitami is located 971 km north of Tokyo, so Dhuhr in Kitami is called roughly 17 minutes earlier than in Tokyo. This difference comes from longitude: each degree moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Kitami.
Finding the Qibla from Kitami
From Kitami you pray towards the north-west, at an angle of 295.0° from true north; the Kaaba is 9,436 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Kitami and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
