They are in the order most people enjoy them.
| Months | What it is like |
|---|---|
| March – May | Cherry blossom around Himeji Castle in early April — white castle, pink trees, and it is worth the crowd. |
| June – August | Wet in June. Kobe stays a little cooler than Osaka because of the sea breeze. |
| September – November | Clear and dry, and the best months for the north coast. |
| December – February | Snow crab season at Kinosaki, which is when that town is fully booked. Reserve early. |
