Through the year

Kōbe sits far enough from the equator for the difference to be felt. Midsummer stretches the day, midwinter compresses it, and the prayer times follow.

The fasting day in Kōbe

The fasting day here runs 4:50 am to 5:08 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 18 minutes. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Where these times come from

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

A walk through today's times

Fajr opens the day at 4:50 am, well before first light. You have until 6:17 am, when the sun comes up. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:43 am; Asr comes round at 3:30 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:08 pm, and Isha closes the day at 6:38 pm. Around 10 hours and 51 minutes of daylight, all told.
