Akita's Weather
Akita City has four distinct seasons, where you can celebrate the changing seasons. There is mild precipitation in winter, and lesser snow than in other Tohoku areas facing the Sea of Japan. Spring arrives relatively late, and although Tsuyu (rainy season) is sunnier compared to areas facing the Pacific Ocean, there may be heavy rain near the end of the rainy season. Summer days are mostly sunny, with some Manatsubi (temperature above 30 degrees celsius) and Nettaiya (nights which temperatures don't fall below 25 degrees). Akita enters the rainy season after Obon (mid August) due to the Akisame Zensen (autumn rain front). The best time to visit Akita is from April to May when the weather is pleasant and coincides with the high season of cherry blossoms, and also from October to November when you can enjoy the autumn leaves and mild weather.
