The globe opens over Tokyo (35.7° N, 139.7° E) with the latest satellite clouds and rain radar, and Tokyo's place card open: its local time, current weather, sunrise and sunset, the Moon, and any alerts near it.
Below, as the page is served, are the alerts near Tokyo and which sources were checked for them, its weather now and over the next day, its air quality, then its day on its own clock (Asia/Tokyo): sunrise, sunset and the length of the day, golden and blue hour, the Moon's phase and when it's up, the coming week's sunsets, and the next full Moon and eclipses seen from Tokyo; then what might cross its sky.

Checked at GMT+9: tropical cyclones, tsunami bulletins, earthquakes, GDACS disaster alerts, satellite fire detections and air quality. Tokyo's national weather warnings aren't carried here, so check its national weather service too. This page is not a warning service: in an emergency, follow your local authorities.

How to read it
Earthquakes and typhoons are what Tokyo watches for: typhoon season peaks from August to October, and the place card names any strong quake in the region in the last day. A few days a year, from viewpoints around the city, the Sun sets exactly behind the summit of Mount Fuji: Diamond Fuji.
Tokyo's longest day, around June 21, has 14 hours 35 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around December 22, has 9 hours 45 minutes.
Sunset in Tokyo comes earliest around December 2, at about 16:27, and latest around June 30, at about 19:01. That earliest sunset comes about 20 days before Tokyo's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. Tokyo keeps the same clock all year (Asia/Tokyo), so its sunset drifts with no jump.
Tokyo's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 50 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer about 55 minutes.
Questions
What time is sunset in Tokyo today?
The list on this page gives it, worked out for today on Tokyo's clock, with the coming week's. Through the year Tokyo's sunset moves between about 16:27 and about 19:01.
When is golden hour in Tokyo today?
The list gives Tokyo's morning and evening golden hours, when the Sun is low and its light warm and long-shadowed, and the blue hours just outside them, on Tokyo's clock.
When is the next full Moon in Tokyo?
The list gives the date and time on Tokyo's clock, with today's phase and when the Moon rises and sets there. It's full at the same moment everywhere on Earth, so what differs in Tokyo is only the clock and when the Moon is up.
Are there any alerts near Tokyo right now?
This page lists what's active near Tokyo as it's served, with who issued it, and says which sources it checked and when, and which it couldn't. It's no warning service: in an emergency in Tokyo, follow your local authorities.
What's the weather doing over Tokyo right now?
This page gives Tokyo's conditions now and its next day hour by hour, with the chance of rain or snow, from Open-Meteo. The globe shows the latest satellite clouds and rain radar over Tokyo: drag it to see what's coming.
What is the air quality in Tokyo today?
This page gives Tokyo's US AQI as it's served, with the EPA's word for its band. It comes from Copernicus's CAMS forecast through Open-Meteo: a model for the area around Tokyo rather than a monitor's reading, so a station nearby can differ.
