Water Temperature in Hyōgo Prefecture: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Original name of the region: 兵庫県

Hyōgo Prefecture, located in the Kansai region of Japan, has a coastal climate influenced by both the Seto Inland Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south. In the summer months, from June to August, the water temperature along Hyōgo’s coastline typically ranges from 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). This makes the waters more comfortable for swimming and other marine activities, particularly around popular coastal areas like the Awaji Island and the beaches near Kobe. The warm temperatures attract both locals and tourists, creating lively beach atmospheres during the summer.

As the seasons transition into autumn and winter, from November to February, the water temperatures along the Hyōgo coast gradually cool down. During the coldest months, the water temperature can range from 41°F to 50°F (5°C to 10°C). While this may be too cold for most swimmers, the winter months still see visitors enjoying the coastal beauty for walking, photography, and observing local marine life. The waters are also influenced by the colder currents from the Sea of Japan, particularly along the northern coastline. Despite the lower temperatures, the region remains a peaceful retreat during the colder months, with scenic views of the ocean and nearby mountainous landscapes.
