@Aston100 I’d also avoid most of September. If last two years are anything to go by, it’s still humid and hot as hell.

In November you can enjoy autumn foliage, mid to late Octobet it starts getting colder. If you don’t care about foliage, first two weeks of October are good.

Thanks Meta.
How are Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto in early May (after Golden week) compared to the first two weeks of October. Both weather wise (rain and humidity that is), and crowds wise.
And which would you choose if you were a first-timer: early October or Mid May?
Thanks.
