Kanazawa culture in Kaga Hyakumangoku Maeda family built is the biggest city in Hokuriku area and where is left deeply. Many tourists develop to a visited grave tourist town from all the countries as well as Japan after opening to traffic of Hokuriku Shinkansen. If I go out to such Kanazawa, which season would you like for four seasons?

The annual amount of rainfall of the Ishikawa is learned about as a rainy area so that Kanazawa also enters dominance at the whole country and has the proverb to which he says "Even if a box lunch is left, don't leave an umbrella." in particular. There are a lot of days of a clear sky, but a season besides that, early summer is the area where rain, hail and the probability that it snows are high and indeed shows the typical Sea of Japan side climate to its special quality.
There is often amount of snow cover a lot more in Kanazawa-shi in the hilly area exposed to the base in Nomi mountain region, Yamashiro in a terrace place and hot spring in the mountains.
When going out to Kanazawa through 1 year, I'll recommend to carry rainwear.

It's being gathered about the temperature and the clothes I'd like to know in case of a plan of travel to Kanazawa by this article.

The season when Kanazawa's March is a thaw. The average temperature is 8.8 ℃ and news in spring begins to reach from budding of the trees. Best time of a cherry tree of one in a Three Great Gardens of Japan "Kenroku-en", from the end of March, at the beginning of April. One in the park can be opened for free of charge and also enjoy the cherry tree lit up in the evening. The lowest temperature of this time will be about 5 ℃, so when going out in the evening, it's a knit and a coat, it's put on, cold protection is needed.

The average temperature of April, 13.4 ℃ and May, 18.2 ℃ and the temperature difference with Tokyo, about 1-2 ℃. It's all right with the same clothes as Tokyo. A day of a clear sky continues in May in particular, so a restaurant district, a Samurai residence and the tour of temples and shrines are a fitting season for history to enjoy abundant city walk.

The average temperature of June is 23.7 ℃. The average lowest temperature is also the climate which is often spent with 20.0 ℃, but the day when it rains becomes a lot and is chilly, and there is also a felt day.

Kanazawa's grave events "Kanazawa Hyakumangoku festival" hold first week of this month. The visitor to "Hyakumangoku line" who reproduced Maeda Toshiie's Kanazawa castle entry exceeds 400,000 people every year.

The average temperature of July and August is about 29 ℃ like Tokyo. Sultriness by which the average highest temperature is to the extent humidity a rainy area is added to the high temperature beyond 30 ℃, and even sleeveless clothes and short sleeves sweat, continues. The temperature difference between outdoor and indoor also becomes great, so I'll prepare a good jacket of air permeability. The sun is strong, so a sunshade, a hat and sunglasses are also necessary.

If Kanazawa's summer is enjoyed fully, it's to two large river. Such as a riverbed is installed in "Asano river", and Fireworks Festival does "Saigawa" then and every year, charming sights in summer can be enjoyed.

There is also average highest temperature on more than 30 ℃ of day in September, and you can spend the daytime by short sleeves. It's also an autumn rain season, so when I have a folding weather both use umbrella, it comes in handy.

The heat is quiet and the average temperature hardly changes with Tokyo from October I'm coming to feel the coolness gradually when to November. The average temperature of October is 18.8 ℃. The daytime points to walk by the gentle sunlight and the cool climate.

Snow crab fishing will be in permission in November when the average temperature goes down to 12.3 ℃. The broadleaf tree of "Kenroku-en" which is also a place famous for beautiful colored autumnal leaves begins to color, and the colored leaves full of natural beauty are in best time at a walkway along a valley stream on a Daisho-ji river "tsurusenkyou" in hot spring in the mountains. It's possible to enjoy autumn of art fully by "21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art" and "Suzuki-Daisetsu house" etc. in Kanazawa-shi.
Clothes in this time are enough by the outer by which a long sleeve has no parka and back fabric, but that a morning and evening prepares something over which the knit put on can be layered on the shirt would be good.

December crab, Cold Yellowtail and sweet shrimp have complete set of winter palate in season, and when a kitchen in Kanazawa "Omicho Market" shows a further crowd. The average temperature is 8.2 ℃. It'll be to the extent I'll disappear immediately even if it snows, but a northwestern seasonal wind will blow in January, and a day of snow becomes a lot, and snow is increasing.

There is about 60 cm of about 20 cm of snow in a little year in a lot of years in January and February. This will be 1.5 times-double amount of snow cover at Yamashiro and hot spring in the mountains. Juicy snow tends to freeze and when it melts, a road is muddy, so I recommend boots of waterproof use and boots for a foot.

The time which passes for taste of suspension of branches with rope to see the abundant scenery is a thick coat and a down coat. Such as also preparing a body warmer and gloves, I'll do cold protection tightly.
