The Perseids meteor shower peaks from Tokyo around Aug 12-13, with up to 150 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a new moon means dark skies, and from Tokyo the radiant in Perseus climbs to 59° above the north-east horizon around 03:20. Local best viewing window: 22:55–03:20 JST on the peak night, about 4.4 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 150/hour headline figure works out to roughly 129 meteors an hour from Tokyo under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: mostly cloud-free — light pollution will be the limiting factor.

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
- Face north-east — Perseus reaches 59° at 03:20 JST, its highest while the sky is still dark
