Sunrise & Sunset Times in Kyoto — November 2026

Sunrise & Sunset in Kyoto During November

November in Kyoto pushes daylight toward its annual low as winter approaches. Days lose one to two minutes of light daily, and the sun barely clears the horizon at noon in high-latitude locations. Sunrise is late and sunset is early, compressing useful daylight into a narrow window. Twilight periods shorten noticeably, and the overall character of the light becomes soft and low-angled — a hallmark of late autumn that gives the landscape a distinctive golden quality.

Golden Hour & Twilight in November

During November, golden hour in Kyoto lasts approximately 53 minutes each morning and evening. The low sun angle during these periods produces warm, directional light prized by photographers and filmmakers. Civil twilight — the period when the sun is just below the horizon — adds extra usable light before sunrise and after sunset, extending the practical daylight window beyond the times shown in the table above.

Through November, days in Kyoto are shortening by roughly 1.6 minutes per day, adding up to about 0h 46m over the course of the month.
