Higashigō is located 919 km west of Tokyo, so Dhuhr in Higashigō comes about 38 minutes later than in Tokyo. The gap is due to longitude: each degree moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Higashigō.

In Higashigō you pray towards the west, at an angle of 288.3° from true north; the Kaaba is 8,753 km away.
