Skytree Views – Sunrise, Sunset or Night?

Each moment changes palette and pace. Pick based on mood, crowds, and your broader day.

Quick Compare

Sunrise

• Subtle gradients, crisp winter horizons.
• Arrive early and confirm first-entry hours for the season.

Minimalist Recipe

ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/20s  
Compose for negative space and silhouettes

Sunset to Blue Hour

• Golden edges on towers, then balanced city glow.
• Crowds peak: move spots between shots and return.

Timing Plan

Arrive: 45–60 min before sunset  
Golden hour scans: city grid  
Sunset: silhouettes and color bands  
Blue hour: skyline balance, turn on city lights

Night

• Tokyo becomes a circuit board of lines and color.
• Use bridges and riverbanks for reflections after your Deck session.

Anti-Glare Moves

• Dim phone screen and wear a dark layer.
• Press lens to glass with a rubber hood.

First-Timer Pick

Sunset that flows into blue hour offers variety and a forgiving light ramp.
