What is the weather like in Ibaraki?
Carly Bode, International Affairs Division
As Ibaraki is a very long prefecture (over 180 km of coast line) and also has a variety of terrain (plains, mountains, etc.) the temperature varies quite a lot from one end to the other. The north is mainly mountains and normally sees a bit of snow in the winter, while the south has much milder weather.
Please use the following figures as a guide to understand the average temperatures. They are based on data from the Japan Meteorological Agency.
