Japan it's said have six seasons. Why? Because it's not only, spring, summer, autumn and winter but also typhoon and rainy season/ tsuyu.
If you go to Japan on early June till mid July, you must bring umbrella whenever you go. Yeah, it's because it's rainy season in Japan. "Tsuyu/ baiu", you will heard it in japanese. When rainy season, it's time for plum rippening so it's called baiu. The rainy season is caused by the collision of cold northerly and warm southerly air masses, which results in a relatively stable bad weather front over the Japanese archipelago for several weeks.
It's not everyday rain in Japan but the amount of rainfall, it varies from days with intensive downpours to other days with occasional sprinkles.
It's not suitable for travelling to Japan at rainy season because most of the tourism outdoor activities will be postponed or delayed or even disturbed by rain so it's better to changes your schedule for going to Japan.
But if you still insist want to go to Japan, there are some place in Japan that will be interesting when you visit during rainy season, such as:
