Grammar usage notes

から~にかけて and から~まで are very easy to confuse.

から~にかけて is used to describe a range of time or space with a vague beginning and vague ending:
からにかけて

から~まで is used to describe a range of time or space with a definite beginning and definite ending:
9から12まで

When から~にかけて is used, even if A or B is a precise time, the start and end times should be understood to be imprecise. For example,

10ごろから にかけて った。

The usage of this grammar structure indicates that the rain stopped at around noon, rather than precisely at noon.

It is inappropriate to use から~にかけて for events with clear start and end times.

✕ 9から 11にかけて があります。
○ 9から 11まで   があります。


The event that follows this grammar structure should a continuous event that lasts throughout the stated duration.


✕  9から 11にかけて します。
○  9から 11に  します。

As します refers to a single event that occurs within the stated time period, it is inappropriate to use から~にかけて.
It is appropriate to use から~のに instead.

I believe they're just about the same, but the latter one seems to be rarer, maybe a bit more polite? Like, I think the former would be used more in common conversation, with にかけて showing up more in writing. This is just a guess, but it seems right to me. Looks like you've studied about as long as I have, so you can kinda feel what I'm saying, I bet.

That's the impression I got as well. I've never noticed anyone say にかけて, but then again sometimes I just stop paying attention when there is a group of people speaking Japanese.

I hate it how your mind sometimes just turns off the 'listening' without you ever consciously deciding to do so.

I think the difference is only in structure, and not in meaning (in a sense).

In the first example, you're attaching the entire phrase to the noun - saying 'in the region from Western to Eastern Japan'; if you were to drop it, I think it would translate closer to 'from West to East Japan'.

With the second, it's a similar situation - you simply dropped the (or something similar) because it's understood within the context of the sentence. the にかけて phrase is simply assigning a location for the second half of the sentence, and not specifically tying it to a single noun.

The difference between から~まで and から~にかけて is that the latter is a rough estimate.
