If you will visit Tokyo, anytime is great! It’s like most big cities in that it is well heated and air conditioned. I would guess that a majority of your time will be indoors. I would recommend to avoid the rainy season which is between June 15 to July 15. Hope you have a great trip here!

If I was to rent a car from the bottom of the country and travel all the way up in 2-3 months, would I be good in term of mild weather and rain if I left at the start of march?

How hot and humid is your average Japanese summer, anyway? I remember NHK declaring a heatwave when it got over 26C for a week a summer or two ago. A week in summer consisting of 26C days here and we’d be complaining that it’s unseasonably cold!

Nice, detailed post! I’ve been living in Kyoto for 4 – 5 years and always recommended people to come from mid-March / April or mid-September / October. You can extend that until May and November respectively if “OK” is good enough for you. You don’t want to come during the winter months, the rainy season or the summer that follows it. This doesn’t take events into account, but what better time to be in Japan than during hanabi or koyo season? :-) Both times – especially spring – more than make up for the horrible summer.
