The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from Tokyo around Jan 3-4, with up to 110 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, and from Tokyo the radiant in Boötes climbs to 57° above the north-east horizon around 05:20. Local best viewing window: 02:00–05:20 JST on the peak night, about 3.3 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 110/hour headline figure works out to roughly 92 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 — Boötes reaches 57° at 05:20 JST, its highest while the sky is still dark
