The weather in Japan is very similar to that of the East Coast of North America. Most Japanese letters and conversations will start with a reference to the weather. If you spend any length of time in Japan you would think there were only two types of weather, very hot and very cold, because you will hear people saying あつい！あつい！(hot! hot!) or さむい！さむい！(cold! cold!) every 5 seconds. Shizuoka, where I live, is known for it mild temperatures and nice weather.
Japanese also are very proud of Japan having four distinct (well five if you include tsuyu) seasons. The change of seasons has been the inspiration and main focus of much of the art, literature, and many other things in Japan. The best time to visit Japan is during the Spring or Fall.
