The Eta Aquariids meteor shower peaks from Tokyo around May 5-6, with up to 40 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a new moon means dark skies, and the radiant in Aquarius is best viewed after midnight. Local best viewing window: 2026-05-05 23:00:00 to 2026-05-06 04:00:00. Tonight: not ideal for sky watching tonight. The shower favours southern latitudes, but northern observers can still catch bright meteors low on the horizon before dawn.

How to Watch from Tokyo
- Find a dark spot away from city lights — parks, hilltops, or rooftops work well
- Lie on your back and look straight up — no telescope needed
- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
- Best viewing is usually after midnight when Aquarius is highest
