The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:27 on 6 December; the latest is 19:00 on 29 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:25 on 13 June to 06:51 on 7 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Kawasaki different

Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 50 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 41 — at 35.5° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Across August the sunset moves 35 minutes earlier, averaging about 70 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Kawasaki

Arrive by 17:28. Golden hour opens at 17:43 and the sun is down by 18:17, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west-northwest — the sun goes down at 283° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:33 and runs to 18:43, the end of civil twilight and 26m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
