Prayer Times in Yokohama, Japan

Prayer times in Yokohama

Few cities on this site sit further from the Kaaba than Yokohama: some 9,482 kilometres. At that range the great-circle route matters: the qibla from here runs west-north-west, about 293°, which surprises people expecting otherwise.

The clock against the sun

The sun reaches its high point roughly 35 minutes before noon here. That is why Dhuhr sits at 11:25 am rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.

Yokohama today, prayer by prayer

Fajr opens the day at 4:32 am, well before first light. Sunrise at 6:00 am closes that window. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 11:25 am, and Asr at 3:12 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 4:50 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 6:20 pm. That gives Yokohama roughly 10 hours and 50 minutes of daylight today.

The yearly swing

Yokohama sees a large seasonal spread — very early summer Fajr times, a very late Isha, then a tightly packed winter day. The month view below is the reliable way to keep track.

Suhoor and iftar in Yokohama

Suhoor closes at 4:32 am in Yokohama, with iftar at 4:50 pm. Roughly 12 hours and 18 minutes, going by today's figures. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

Isha to Fajr

Between Isha at 6:20 pm and Fajr at 4:32 am there are about 10 hours and 12 minutes. If you pray tahajjud, the final third of that stretch is the one to aim for; counting backwards from Fajr is the easier way to locate it.

The calculation behind them

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.
