Hi everyone!
My wife and I are planning our first trip to Japan, but we are torn between two specific date ranges. We’d love to get some input from those who have visited or live there.
The options are:
• Augurs 27th – September 10th
• October 12th – October 26th
We’re planning to do the classic route (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka).
A few things we’re considering:
• Weather: We’ve heard August can be brutally hot and humid. On the other hand, is October significantly more comfortable?
• Crowds: Are either of these periods particularly busy with local holidays?

Which one would you recommend for a couple's trip? We want to balance seeing the sights without being completely overwhelmed by the heat or the crowds.

Thanks in advance for the help!
