Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka will all be equally likelihood of being hot and muggy or relatively mild on the other hand in Sept. You have to consider typhoons in Sept, but that's really a bit of a crapshoot. I'm not a typhoon expert, but I think I would avoid Kyushu and western Jpn in particular if you're worried about typhoon. Honestly Hokkaido would really be a good place to consider if visiting in Sept, although typhoons occasionally hit Hokkaido also.
