- description: The Kanto Region (Tokyo) was expecting cloudy skies during the viewing time of the annular solar eclipse, but miraculously the skies cleared up for an awesome view of this natural phenomenon. Starting at about 6:50am the moon began to cross over the sun; coming to peak at about 7:32am, lasting for about 5 gracious minutes, till about 7:37am; then the moon made its pass which ended at about 9:02am. Absolutely AMAZING!!! The last view of this type of eclipse in the Kanto Region was 130 years ago, and the next one in the will be 300 years later...so this was a total blessing. Enjoy the pictures and video from Saitama (above Tokyo), Japan. Japan: 1987 was the last annular eclipse seen from Okinawa. And the next one will be in Hokkaido in 18 years.
