Weather Report.com

One of the widest basins here is the Takayama Basin. A peculiarity of the climate is the vast difference in temperature between night and day thru the year.
With a heavy snowfall, the winter is extremely cold, and at its coldest, temperatures have been known to reach 15 degrees below freezing.
On summer days, the dazzling sunlight is often potent, but because the humidity is low, you can feel refreshment of body and mind. Usually nighttime is much cooler than daytime.
