Are you referring to kobobooks.com, as in the web site accessed via a pc?
Or are you referring to accessing Kobo via your device?

I think this is a japan-centric issue. When I read about changing countries to get different bookstores, I went to try it with japan, but japan was not listed. I successfully changed to germany and back, but japan is just excluded. I think its because of rakuten. Japan is pretty good at being closed market so that japanese tech cant be resold abroad (released much earlier and much cheaper to begin with, as well as prices fall quickly). However this is probably for the opposite reason of japan controlling what their customers have access to. Rakuten forces you to have a rakuten account to access their bookstore, kobo accounts dont work.
@canuck
I wonder if you could make sure your affiliate is rakuten on your kobo, then try to change your billing info directly from your device? Worth a try I think.
