Japan weather - plan your Japan trip in advance according to the weather forecast. Japan weather can be extreme.
September is the typhoon season. Few of them are strong, usually it ends with some hard-hitting winds. If you are visiting Japan at this time of the year, I recommend paying attention to the weather forecast. Japan public transportation timetables can be affected too.
Spring (March-May) - the most glorious time to visit Japan. That's when Japan's famous tree blossom starts, beginning with plum trees in March and continuing to April with cherry blossoms. Weather forecasts include reports on the advance of the Sakura Zensen (cherry blossom front 桜前線). The Meteorological Agency and the media follow "cherry blossom front" as it slowly moves northward. To celebrate, Japanese arrange picnics in parks and temples. The temperatures are pleasant, though spring rains are likely to happen.
Summer (June-August) - begins in June with the rainy season, which lasts between three weeks to one month.
Although it doesn't rain every day, rain can be heavy. When the rainy season ends, weather in Japan becomes extremely hot and sticky. This is certainly not the best time for a Japan vacation.

One of the interesting Japan facts - since Japan is so crowded, the population contributes a few degrees to the climate. Concrete asphalt and continuously working air-condition systems produce artificial heat 24 hours a day. Mosquitoes are an issue during the wet season, generally in parks and gardens. You rarely find them in the urban areas in central Japan.
Autumn (September-November) is my personal favorite Japan weather. In October pleasant temperatures and a clear sky are the typical weather forecast. Japan night temperatures drop significantly. Fall foliage in Japan is at its best during November. It is absolutely one of the biggest Japan attractions. Magnificent fall colors paint the Japanese gardens with a stunning blend of red and yellow.
Winter (December-February) - temperatures are around 5 - 10 degrees Celsius/ 40 - 50 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures require packing winter clothes suitable for this climate (see my ultimate packing list for Japan ). Be warned - Japan winter is so dry... and gives your skin a very hard time. Snowfall is Japan is infrequent, but does occur. It also affects the public transportation.
