Spring on the calendar is from March to May, but in fact spring arrives in mid-April, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom all over the city. After the cherry blossoms have faded, the mountains and fields begin to be covered with new green, grass and flowers appear one after another, and the season of renewal has arrived.

Like Tokyo in summer, Kanazawa’s sultry weather lasts for a long time. In autumn, the temperature begins to drop sharply after mid-October, dropping to an average of 10-15 degrees Celsius. In early November, the trees in the mountains begin to turn red, and the season for viewing red leaves has arrived. At this time of year, in Kenrokuen Garden near the center of Kanazawa, you can see the work of hanging branches to prevent trees from being broken by heavy snow, and residents are also preparing to survive the winter. This scenery often appears in the introduction of winter scenery in major Japanese media.

The snowy season is from December to the end of March every year. The city and mountains are covered with snow. Different from other seasons, Kanazawa in winter shows a hazy and dreamlike beauty. Heavy snow also brings inconvenience to people's lives. Roads are blocked, traffic jams make it difficult to walk, and there are many days.
