Ramadan 2027 in Kyoto, Japan

Sehri and Iftar in Kyoto

For Kyoto, the evening fast opens at local sunset, shown as 5:10 pm today. The pre-dawn cutoff is calculated separately from the Fajr setting; sunrise is not used as the start of the fast. The page uses Kyoto’s coordinates (35.01, 135.77) and the Asia/Tokyo time zone.

Sunrise-to-sunset daylight in Kyoto lasts 10 hours 59 minutes today. Across the June and December solstices that daylight span differs by about 4 hours 43 minutes at this latitude. That helps explain why Ramadan feels very different when the lunar month returns in another season, but it should not be read as the fasting duration because Fajr occurs before sunrise.

For comparison, sunset in Sapporo is 4:36 pm today, 34 minutes earlier than in Kyoto. Travellers should therefore switch to the timetable for the place where they are actually observing the fast rather than carrying one city’s times across Japan.

This timetable uses the Karachi prayer calculation setting. The calculation notes explain how the site handles Fajr, Isha and unusual daylight conditions, so that general methodology is not repeated on every location page.
