Kamakura weather at a glance

  • Kamakura is coastal, and sea breezes often change the “feel” quickly—especially near the beach and Enoshima routes.
  • Summers are hot and humid; combining temples and beach walks at midday can build fatigue fast.
  • June rainy season and around September (typhoon influence) can bring not only rain but also strong wind that affects walking comfort and umbrellas.
  • Winters rarely bring deep snow, but wind can sharpen the feel, and it cools quickly near sunset.
  • Typical routes (Komachi-dori, temples, beach, Enoshima) add up in step count—shoes and layers matter.
Jan · Feb

Mild numbers, but sea breeze can feel sharp

Avg low 2–5°C / high 9–12°C · Rainy days: 4–7 per month / 35–80 mm

  • Beach and Enoshima exposure can feel colder than the same temperature inland.
  • If you stay out after sunset, one extra layer often helps.
