Prayer times in Katori-shi — common questions

What time is Fajr in Katori-shi today?

Fajr in Katori-shi begins at 03:09 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 Katori-shi?

From Katori-shi, the Qibla is 293.5° 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 Katori-shi?

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 Katori-shi?

Day length in Katori-shi ranges from about 9.7 hours at midwinter to 14.6 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.9 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is Katori-shi from Makkah?

Katori-shi lies approximately 9533 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.
