The climate of Nikko (Japan)
Nikko is located in the interior of the island of Honsu. The city is
known as the gateway to the Nikko National Park. A unique Shino temple
can be admired in this Park. Although most Shinto Temples are very
sober in design this temple has extensive wood engravings. The temple
is decorated with all kinds of images. Besides this beautiful
Mausoleum several other temples can be found in this magnificent
forest. The area around Nikko is famous for its beautiful deciduous
forests which transform into an overwhelming explosion of colors
during the autumn.
Nikko has a moderate sea climate. High humidity figures are
responsible for flourishing vegetation. During the winter subzero
temperatures are uncommon. Summers are warm and damp. During the
autumn there is a risk of tropical storms or typhoons.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but dont present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures dont 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:
