[quote=Anonymous]I have lived and worked in Japan, and travel there often to see clients.  June in Japan is horrible (setting aside the mountains or up north).  Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto will be pretty miserable.  Is it less miserable than August or July, sure...  Keep in mind also that Japan is a country where they have managed to paint the entire place with concrete, and I am being honest.

The humidity is one thing.  The other thing to consider is the way they have the AC set - very high (i.e. like 78 or 80).  That includes on the shink (bullet train); super not comfortable.  In a western style hotel like an Okura branch or Intercontinental you can control your AC.

IF you do go, as mentioned above, I don't think I have ever seen adjoining rooms in Japan in 10 plus years traveling there.  I don't think it is a thing.

Public transit in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto is pretty easy to figure out quickly.  Your kids can even get a personalized passmo card with their name on it from the machines in the Tokyo Metro stations.  You will experience less English in Osaka, and then another level down in Kyoto once you leave the tourist areas.

Honestly, I would go in the Fall.  That is my preferred time for marketing trips, or late spring after the sakura bloom (cherry blossom).

Either way, enjoy Japan.  Wonderful place, amazing people!          [/quote]
