The influence of the COVID‐19 pandemic on urban CO2emissions was investigated using atmospheric observations in the residential area (approximately 4 × 105m2) in Tokyo, Japan. The measured CO2flux decreased by 20% ± 3% in April–May 2020 compared to the same period during the past few years. The exchange ratio of O2and CO2revealed the breakdown of emission sources; the decrease of flux was due to the decrease in liquid fuel consumption, while household gas fuel consumption was slightly increased; this was also supported by the simultaneously measured CO:CO2concentration ratio. A human‐activity analysis in the flux footprint area supported the results of the observation; car traffic decreased and household gas consumption increased.
