You are a lot further north in JP, so in the summer months Japan is literally closer to the sun.
That kinda makes sense. However, in my home country (Finland), which is further north I think, the sun is quite gentle in the summer season.
Ah, well then you start talking about the difference in the surrounding oceans, winds, humidity, etc. the significant change in longitude comes into play there.
