Times on the 15th of each month, 2026, Shizuoka local time.
Around 49 to 56 minutes each evening. It's shortest in March, April, September and October, about 49 minutes, and longest in January, June and December, about 56 minutes. The farther from the equator, the longer it lasts, because the sun crosses the horizon at a shallower angle.
Toward the west-southwest in December, around 242°, swinging to the west-northwest in June, around 300°. Today it sets at 256°, a little south of due west.
Evening golden hour, in each city's own local time.
