Saikai lies 967 km west of Tokyo, so Dhuhr in Saikai is called roughly 40 minutes later than in Tokyo. The gap is due to longitude: each degree shifts solar noon by about four minutes, which is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Saikai.
Finding the Qibla from Saikai
In Saikai you pray towards the west, at an angle of 288.1° from true north; the Kaaba is 8,719 km away.
