What Ekadashi is and how it is kept: the Ekadashi 2028 guide.
Ekadashi in Tokyo: questions
+ How many Ekadashi days are there in 2028 in Tokyo?
25, computed for Tokyo's coordinates and the Asia/Tokyo time zone. The first falls on Sat, Jan 8 and the last on Wed, Dec 27.
+ Are Tokyo Ekadashi dates the same as in India?
Not always. A tithi starts at the same instant everywhere, but the sunrise that decides the day happens at a different moment in Tokyo. In 2028, 20 of 25 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 0 fall a day earlier and 5 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Ekadashi tithi is in force at sunrise. Where it holds at two sunrises, the first is shown and the second is flagged; where it begins and ends between two sunrises, the day it begins is shown. 1 of this year's 25 entries for Tokyo are flagged because of that. Local temples may follow a particular sampradaya's rule, so check with them for ritual purposes.
+ How accurate are these times?
Times come from truncated astronomical series and should fall within a few minutes of a full ephemeris. Near a boundary a published panchanga may assign a different day. They are for planning practice, not for precise ritual muhurta.
