Facing the plains and the sea in the east and south, with the mountains of Tanzawa and Hakone in the northwest, and affected by the Kuroshio Current in the Pacific Ocean, the climate of this prefecture is warm and rainy Pacific-coast-side climate. Temperature often exceeds 30 degrees in July and August, so it's best to wear short sleeves. In winter, cold wind blows because there are mountains such as Mt. Tanzawa and Mt. Hakone on the eastern border. Therefore, a down coat etc. is required in the middle of winter.
