About the time in Shiga
Around 1,402,132 people live in Shiga, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:19 and sunset at 06:38 local time, giving 13h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (35.22, 136.13) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Shiga.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Shiga day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 00:00–08:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
