April is mild to wear cardigan, windbreaker, trench coat, hoodie, casual sweatpants, jeans, sneakers, and so on. During the early days, you may need a thin sweater to keep warm; later, you can get dressed thinner to adapt to the warmer weather. It would be better to wear in layers.

Cherry blossom viewing is the essential thing to do in April in Japan. The cherry blossoms are in bloom in April, especially the first half of this month. If you get to Japan a little bit late, beautiful cherry blossoms can also be discovered on mountains or in the northeast of Honshu and Hokkaido. Tokyo is convenient for a spring outing to admire the cherry blossoms, while Kyoto seems to take you back to the ancient times for swirling petals over the old city. Mt. Fuji and central mountain areas are also great to enjoy the beauty.
