April or October - November

For the visa it depends where you come from

April if you wanna see the sakura blossoms. They actually release the dates region-wise of when the flowers are expected to bloom I think.

I don't think you need a visa, but you need to check!
As a Swiss citizen I don't need any visa if I am staying less than 90 days in Japan

Feel free to ask me. I used to live there for a bit! March-April is the best time b/c of the cherry blossom season. After June hits, it gets really humid. Busier places are best to visit on weekdays (less congestion).

Most likely no. It’s usually if you have a Chinese passport or are going for work/uni you need a visa.

Aim for tourist friendly places. Certain parts of Japan have harsh Airbnb laws and will require a passport photo. Overall, Japan is very safe. The farther from Tokyo, the less tourist friendly (rule of thumb). Ikebukero is better than Akihabara and has a Korean town where you can buy kpop merch. Enoshima is beautiful (little island area south of Yokohama)

Edit: Shin Okubo for Korea Town (forgot) and Yokohama has the largest China Town in the world plus a cute Pokémon Center and Moomin Boba shop.
