Start with the first one and work down.
They are in the order most people enjoy them.
| Months | What it is like |
|---|---|
| March – May | Cherry blossom around the castle in early April. Mild, and the crafts workshops are busy. |
| June – August | Wet in June. Humid in August, but the tea-house streets are shaded and cool early. |
| September – November | Autumn colour in the garden in November. Crab season opens, and the sea is generous. |
| December – February | Snow on the garden is the reason to come now. Grey skies, snow crab, and very few people. |
