oldest cities in Japan. The bay on which the city is located used to
be the gateway to China and Korea. One of the oldest temples in Japan
can be found in this city; the Shofukuji Temple. Ancient ruins
belonging to the former fortress also can be visited. Shopping and
entertainment can be found in Canal City. A huge shopping mall
completely surrounded by water. This area often gets flooded because

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
