| Months | What it is like |
|---|---|
| March – May | Deep snow into April. Kakunodate’s weeping cherries in late April are the peak of the year here. |
| June – August | Cool and green. The Kanto lantern festival is in the first week of August. |
| September – November | Autumn colour from early October in the mountains, and rice harvest on the plain. |
| December – February | Among the heaviest snowfall in the world for an inhabited place. Hot springs, and trains that still run. |
