Driving Licence Renewal Period 2017/2/10 20:08
My driving licence expires this year (29/ 05/25).

I have some days off work in the first weeks of April up to and including 10th. Can I renew on any of those days, or is there some rule like 1 month before expiry only?

Are you sure that is correct, because I just found this information on the web..?

You will be sent a form 30 days before your birthday and will have 60 days to visit your local driving license center and renew your license. If you fail to attend you will be required to take a Japanese driving test.

If correct, this would mean I could apply from 25 March, right? And indeed my last application was from/in late March, because I don't recall ever having to cancel uni classes in April to make the application, it was always in uni vacation time.

Expiration date is one month after your birthday. So if your expiration date is May 25, it means your birthday is April 25. And, you can renew one month before your birthday.
So, you can apply from March 25 to May 25 as the poster above says.
