Honjō is located 76 km north-west of Tokyo, so Dhuhr in Honjō is called roughly 2 minutes later than in Tokyo. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Honjō.

In Honjō you face towards the north-west, at an angle of 292.7° from true north; the Kaaba is 9,409 km away.
