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 along the moat at Hikone in early April. Clear views across the lake. |
| June – August | Wet in June. The lake is used for swimming and sailing in August. |
| September – November | Autumn colour on the mountain in November, above the lake. The best month here. |
| December – February | Snow on the northern shore and on the mountain temples. The gate in the lake in snow is worth the cold. |
