Golden hour and sea temperature
Evening golden hour is our calculation for the 15th of each month of 2026: the time the sun takes to go from 6° above to 4° below the horizon (there is no official definition). The sea figure is the 1991–2020 average sea surface temperature at the open-sea point nearest the weather station (NOAA OISST).
| Month | Evening golden hour (15th) | Sea surface |
|---|---|---|
| January | 0 h 56 min | 12.9 °C |
| February | 0 h 52 min | 10.7 °C |
| March | 0 h 50 min | 10.0 °C |
| April | 0 h 51 min | 11.3 °C |
| May | 0 h 54 min | 15.2 °C |
| June | 0 h 57 min | 19.9 °C |
| July | 0 h 56 min | 23.8 °C |
| August | 0 h 52 min | 26.9 °C |
| September | 0 h 50 min | 25.4 °C |
| October | 0 h 51 min | 21.9 °C |

The quietest and busiest months
In 2025, January was Toyama's quietest month (5.5% of the year's guest nights): average high 6.3 °C, average low 0.2 °C, 259 mm of rain. August was the busiest (13.1%): average high 31.4 °C, average low 23.2 °C, 207 mm of rain. The figures do not show that the weather makes a month busier or quieter, so we do not say it does.
