Annular solar eclipse

Tomorrow morning will be the day of Annular solar eclipse, observed in Japan for the first time in 25 years since the last occurrence which was seen in Okinawa Prefecture in September 1987.
In Tokyo, it will be viewed for the first time in 173 years, while in Osaka and Nagoya it will be spotted after a long interval of 282 and 932 years, respectively.
I'm not sure we could see it from here in Toyama. It seems impossible because of the high mountains, shutting up the view.
Anyway it will be a rare occasion for Japan.

      You could see it over the cloud....
      How will it be on the top of the mountain?
