The climate of Takayama (Japan)
Takayama is located in the interior of the island of Honsu in the
middle of the mountainous Hida region. Takayama’s historic character
has been well preserved. The town still breathes the atmosphere of
many centuries ago. The town is famous for its traditional
woodcarving, a centuries-old craft still practised here and the
spectacular festivals that are held in spring and autumn. During these
festivals long pageants are held.
The climate of Takayama is influenced by how the city is situated and
by its altitude. Despite Takayama’s moderate sea climate temperatures
may fluctuate because of the altitude at which it is located. After
sunset during the summer temperatures rapidly drop. During the winter
most precipitation falls in the form of snow.

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:
