Prayer times in Rikuzen-Takata — common questions

What time is Fajr in Rikuzen-Takata today?

Fajr in Rikuzen-Takata begins at 02:51 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 Rikuzen-Takata?

From Rikuzen-Takata, the Qibla is 293.9° 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 Rikuzen-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 Rikuzen-Takata?

Day length in Rikuzen-Takata ranges from about 9.4 hours at midwinter to 14.9 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 5.5 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 Rikuzen-Takata?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Rikuzen-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.
