1F304 (sunrise over mountains)

is it just Japan that assumes mountains (or sea?) are in the east and cities are in the west??

in any case, the sunsets can't be reliably distinguished globally, although some have a slightly darker sky

1F303 (night with stars)

dark-sky versions make the cityscape very hard to see, light-sky versions are confusing so a crescent moon is added

cf cityscape at dusk
foggy (may have cityscape)
sunset over buildings
bridge at night
milky way

Mount Fuji

office building

modifier: maybe
