About the time in Shirakawa
Shirakawa sits at latitude 37.12, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 25m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:00 and sunset at 06:24 local time, giving 13h 25m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (37.12, 140.26) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Shirakawa.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Shirakawa 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.
