Help me out here
Yes, it's cooler in the north than in the south.

Whether it is still too hot for you is a personal question that only you can answer. What is "too hot and humid" for you may be bearable for another person, and no problem at all for another. Also, some days will be cooler than others, so just what the temperature will be during those exact days is a guess.

For me personally, in the central part of Honshu near Osaka, some days were too hot and humid to want to do anything, and other days weren't bad at all. The further north you go, the more cooler days you'll have. But I'm from northern CA, USA, where we get quite a bit of heat, so I'm perhaps a bit more used to it than someone from Sweden. (However, CA has dry heat, while Japan is very humid... it was the humidity that got to me more than the raw temperature.)
