Karuizawa (Nagano)
Local Guide
I'll check four seasons of Karuizawa, the temperature and clothes.

It was being developed from southern foot in Asama and altitude 950m into Karuizawa in the slope of 1,200m as a summer retreat as a post-town on Nakasen-do in the Edo Period after Meiji.
The summer is cool and winter is the cold "cold upland climate", and the average temperature of the year is 8.6 ℃.

This is the low numerical value about 8 ℃ compared with 16.4 ℃ of average temperature Tokyo.
There isn't a lot of amount of rainfall through the year compared with Tokyo, but the humidity is an average of 82.5 % a year of Karuizawa and becomes expensive about 15 points to an average of 68.8 % a year of Tokyo.

A characteristic one is a lot of "fog" in Karuizawa.
Fog occurred for more than 100 days a year by influence of an air current from Kanto-heiya, and 186 days were recorded in 2016.

Karuizawa with the severe winter coldness is the area where a snowfall is recorded until April.
When a Golden Week approaches, spring begins to engage in the trees finally, and comes.

The average temperature every moon is rising rapidly with 1.2 ℃ of March, 6.4 ℃ of April and 12.4 ℃ of May, and becomes real spring quickly. When it's compared with the average temperature Tokyo capital, it's the low numerical value about 7 ℃.

Temperature gap is great and is the time when chill is still severe with about 13 ℃ for the temperature difference of the day and night.
When spring passes in Karuizawa, I'll recommend to put on a thin coat, a down jacket and long pants.
The daytime temperature is becoming a little high, but I'll prepare the clothes which can stop the coldness tightly.

Summer is the best season in Karuizawa learned about as a summer retreat.
Whole Karuizawa prospers a villa family and a tourist visit much, and for a concert's and an event's being opened at all part.

The average temperature at 2 summer seasons became low 6.6 ℃ compared with 26 ℃ of Tokyo (28.3) by 19.4 ℃ (16.3 ℃ of June, 20.6 ℃ of July and 21.3 ℃ of August).
The average highest temperature in August is 26.9 ℃, and the average lowest temperature is 17.5 ℃, and it's partial about 9 ℃, and there is also a cold day even nearly 10 ℃ in dawn from night.

Dense fog tends to generate Karuizawa in summer, and so the sensible temperature is felt more coolly so that the fog number of days is also recorded for 22 days in August in particular. The person who goes by car needs attention in strange fog.

Ultraviolet rays are strong because an altitude is high, so the daytime is to the extent even short sleeves sweat, but when the sun sets, the temperature falls suddenly, so I'll suggest that a thin cardigan prepares the clothes a long sleeve puts on.

It's time with severe late summer heat in Tokyo, but a pair early of autumn comes in Karuizawa.
Air is being clear by clear weather of autumn, but the temperature falls suddenly and is the season when colored leaves can also be enjoyed in October.

The temperature difference is becoming big with 16.9 ℃ of September, 10.8 ℃ of October and 5.0 ℃ of November in Karuizawa to 24.6 ℃ of September of Tokyo, 19.2 ℃ of October and 13.8 ℃ of November for the average temperature.
There is also temperature gap near 10 ℃, and the daytime is a long sleeve and there is also time it's possible to spend, but I'll take a thick jacket certainly.

Snow begins to be recorded in November and there is also a day the highest temperature becomes minus when, so please be arranging cold protection.

The winter average temperature Karuizawa will be December - 0.8 ℃ and January- 3.9 ℃ and February- 2.8 ℃.
The average temperature of 12 Monday-February of Tokyo doesn't become minus and is a number near the average temperature Sapporo. The highest temperature isn't also unusual on a minus day in February from the end of January especially.
I'll take enough cold protection by a down jacket, a knit cap child, gloves and a muffler.

On the other hand there isn't also so much snow more than the area where skiing in the same Nagano such as Shirouma and Sugadaira is popular. There is little snow but they can walk along a snowy road, so it's important to put on the shoes for which it's difficult to be slippery.

The phenomenon on which a film of the ice which maybe I don't freeze and is thin as "black frozen road" is formed occurs on the road. When moving by car, please don't forget to load a chain and a studless snow tire.

After enjoying sightseeing, please relax at an inn in Hoshino Resorts. The place where Karuizawa is Hoshino Resorts origination. There are 3 original inns, and everything is filled in the pleasure of the travel and surprise.

I'll stay at Japan absent from today and a village in a valley.

The cityscape made using the topography of the valley has an expression different depending on a season and time.
