I was on JET for 2 years, and I enjoyed it. I was in Wakayama-ken, which was hot and humid in summer and fairly cold in winter, but with very little snow. I think the Kansai area would be a good choice for you. You'll be fairly close to larger cities like Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, and Nagoya. It's in the middle of Japan which means a pretty even balance of temperatures. You are close to lots of historical places in Kyoto, Nara, etc. And since you are centrally located, you can travel west toward Hiroshima, Shikoku, and Kyushu, or east toward Tokyo.
Experience isn't the biggest key to getting into JET, personality and attitude are, IMO. I myself had a little experience teaching art at a community center, but zero knowledge of Japanese. Good luck!
