About the time in Kumamoto
Around 1,748,134 people live in Kumamoto, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Kumamoto sits at latitude 32.62, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 37m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:15 and sunset at 05:52 local time, giving 11h 37m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (32.62, 130.75) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kumamoto.
