Current time in Isesaki, Japan right now

It is 12:16 am in Isesaki, Japan 🇯🇵 right now, on Friday, November 6, 2026. The city keeps Asia/Tokyo, which is JST at UTC+9, so Isesaki is 9 hours ahead of UTC, where it is 3:16 pm. The sun rose in Isesaki at 6:11 am and sets at 4:42 pm, which is 10 hours 32 minutes of daylight.

What time is it in Isesaki right now?

The time in Isesaki, Japan is 12:16 am, 00:16 on a 24 hour clock, on Friday November 6, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Asia/Tokyo rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.

Isesaki sits at 36.32 degrees north and 139.20 degrees east, in the subtropical belt and 4,038 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 135.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 4.2 degrees east of that line. Those 4.2 degrees are worth 16 minutes 48 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 11:27 am rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Isesaki time zone and UTC offset

The IANA zone for Isesaki, Japan is Asia/Tokyo. Right now it is running at UTC+9 and the abbreviation in force is JST. Isesaki does not change its clocks at any point in the year. The offset stays at UTC+9 in January and in July alike, so no conversion involving Isesaki ever needs a seasonal footnote.

Daylight hours in Isesaki today

The sun rose in Isesaki at 6:11 am and sets at 4:42 pm, which is 10 hours 32 minutes of daylight. Solar noon, the instant the sun stands at its highest over Isesaki, is at 11:27 am, which is 33 minutes before clock noon. The sun's declination today is -15.95 degrees, so at this latitude it reaches about 37.7 degrees above the horizon at its highest, to the south.

The full month by month picture for this city, the extremes of the year and every twilight band are on the sunrise and sunset page for Isesaki, which works from the same coordinates.

Where Isesaki is on the map

The marker sits at the coordinates this whole page is computed from, so the sun times, the distances and the solar noon above all belong to this exact point rather than to the wider metropolitan area.

Time difference between Isesaki and major cities

Every row below is computed at this instant, so daylight saving on either side is already in it. A positive figure means that city's clock reads later than Isesaki.

Best time to call Isesaki

Treating a working day as 9am to 6pm on both sides, this is the window the two cities genuinely share. Some of these pairs have no shared working hour at all, which is worth knowing before a meeting is proposed.

Other cities in Japan

We cover 293 cities in Japan. These are the ones nearest to Isesaki, with the time on their clocks right now.

Cities on Asia/Tokyo time

293 of our cities keep Asia/Tokyo, so every one of them reads 12:16 am at this moment and changes its clocks on the same night as Isesaki. Nearest first:

Moon phase over Isesaki tonight

The moon is a waning crescent tonight, 26.0 days into its cycle and about 14% lit. The next full moon falls on November 24, 2026 at 11:53 pm Tokyo time, and the next new moon on November 9, 2026 at 4:01 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Isesaki clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.

When the clocks change in Isesaki

There is no clock change scheduled in Asia/Tokyo within the next 400 days, so Isesaki stays at UTC+9 for the whole of that stretch.

That makes Isesaki an easy city to schedule against: a meeting fixed at a given hour here holds its relationship to UTC all year, and only the other end of the call can move.

How far Isesaki is from other cities

Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Isesaki is Maebashi, Japan at 14 km, and the furthest is Rio Grande, Brazil at 18,873 km, which is 94% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Isesaki

Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Isesaki, Japan and you come out at 36.32 degrees south, 40.80 degrees west. That point is in the South Atlantic Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Rio Grande, Brazil, 1,142 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 12:16 pm on Thursday.

The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 36.32 degrees north becomes 36.32 degrees south, and 139.20 degrees east becomes 40.80 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Isesaki is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-3, roughly twelve hours from Isesaki, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.

Sunrise and sunset in Isesaki

Today the sun rises in Isesaki at 6:11 am and sets at 4:42 pm, giving 10 hours 32 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Isesaki.

Sun and moon in Isesaki today

The sun is up in Isesaki for 10 hours 32 minutes today, from 6:11 am to 4:42 pm. The moon rises in Isesaki at 2:56 am and sets at 2:47 pm. The next phase is the new moon on November 9, 2026. It is 10% lit at the moment, a waning crescent, thinning by about 6.4 percentage points a day.

Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.

Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.

Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

Prayer times in Isesaki

Seven days from November 6, 2026, computed for Isesaki, Japan at 36.32 degrees north, 139.20 degrees east, on the clock of Asia/Tokyo. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Isesaki, Japan, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.

Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.

Qibla direction from Isesaki

From Isesaki, Japan the qibla is 292.7 degrees on a true compass, which is west-northwest, or 22.7 degrees south of due west. The Kaaba is 9,407 km away, 5,845 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Isesaki, Japan to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.

The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Isesaki, Japan before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.
