Prayer times in Hōfu — common questions
What time is Fajr in Hōfu today?
Fajr in Hōfu begins at 03:52 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 Hōfu?
From Hōfu, the Qibla is 288.9° 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 Hōfu?
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 Hōfu?
Day length in Hōfu ranges from about 9.9 hours at midwinter to 14.4 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.5 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
How far is Hōfu from Makkah?
Hōfu lies approximately 8847 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
