They are in the order most people enjoy them.
| Months | What it is like |
|---|---|
| March – May | Snow into April. Cherry blossom at the castle in late April — among the last in the country. |
| June – August | Cool and green. The gorge is at its best in June, and the Nebuta festival is 2–7 August. |
| September – November | Autumn colour in the gorge from mid-October, which is the other peak season here. Apples are picked. |
| December – February | Heavy snow — among the deepest in Japan. Trains run; mountain roads may not. |
