Daylight through 2026

Daylight Civil twilight Nautical Astronomical Night

The earliest sunset of the year is at 16:27 on 6 December; the latest is 19:01 on 29 June. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.

Sunrise ranges from 04:24 on 13 June to 06:51 on 7 January.

Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 10m of daylight.

What makes sunsets in Tokyo different

Clock noon and solar noon are 32 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 11:28 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

Sunset here is followed by about 26 minutes of usable light before civil twilight ends — almost exactly the 24-minute median across the cities tracked here.

Evening golden hour runs 50 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 35.7° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.

Between solstices the sunset walks 59° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

By the end of October the sun will be setting 38 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 77 seconds a day.

Planning a sunset photo in Tokyo

Arrive by 16:23. Golden hour opens at 16:38 and the sun is down by 17:13, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.

Face west — the sun goes down at 262° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.

Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 17:28 and runs to 17:38, the end of civil twilight and 25m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.

Golden hour in Tokyo — times, duration and the best months Morning and evening windows, the next seven days, and how much golden light each month gives you.
