I trust him, but still wanted to get a second opinion, especially from those of you who live there//have visited.

Thanks!
That is true for a large extent though Japan is larger than most people seem to think. Hokkaido and Okinawa are like two different countires weather-wise.

For one thing, the humidity is very similar between Japan and TN/VA/KY/NC. This is why you will see the same kinds of trees in Japan that you are used to seeing where you are.
