Prayer times in Aki-takata — common questions

What time is Fajr in Aki-takata today?

Fajr in Aki-takata begins at 03:46 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Aki-takata?

From Aki-takata, the Qibla is 289.4° from true north — roughly WNW. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Aki-takata?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Japan. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How much does daylight change through the year in Aki-takata?

Day length in Aki-takata ranges from about 9.8 hours at midwinter to 14.5 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.7 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Aki-takata?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Aki-takata's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
