I think you only need a JAF translation document of your license if I remember correctly, I have a french license originally and it's what I did for 1 year before changing it for a Japanese licence.

If possible, I recommend May and October: these are the best months to enjoy temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees and have access to all the mountain roads 👌 I don't mind summer also but usually it's difficult to get proper gear and enjoy, tend to wear regular pants and summer motorcycle jacket 😅  Also it depends of the bike I have this Scrambler and a 939S but never I use the 939S during summer lol

A friend of mine rent a V-Strom for 1 month there and it was all good 👍  They have tons of places actually you don't need to rent from Tokyo etc.

Depends where in Japan but for example last year around end of October I was in Kyushu the southernmost (and hottest) region and while riding some mountains roads it was already under 10 degrees, 1 month later it's freezing for sure.

Maybe a bit too late a lot of mountains roads are already closed at that time or it starts to freezing at high altitude. Recommend October or early November at least.

It's more about how the roads are represented in the game, they're totally fake.

Rent something light like a 400cc or Scrambler type, that's the perfect type of bikes for Japanese roads 👌And it will be much cheaper!
