①An inspection, search, seizure or seizure with a recording order must not be carried out between sunset and sunrise unless the warrant states that it may be executed even at night; provided, however, that this does not apply in the case where a disposition is carried out pursuant to the provisions of Article 135 (Inspection, Search or Seizure in a Case of a Flagrant Offense), or in the case where, with regard to consumption tax imposed on taxable goods prescribed in Article 2, paragraph (1), item (xi) (Definitions) of the Consumption Tax Act or any other national tax specified by Cabinet Order, these dispositions are carried out in an inn, restaurant or any other place which the public may enter and leave even at night, during the hours in which it is open to the public.

②An inspection, search, seizure or seizure with a recording order commenced before sunset may be continued after sunset when it is found to be necessary.
