However last time I tried (years ago by now, I'm sure) the KEPUB converter couldn't handle Japanese particularly well either so I just ... did it myself by adding an empty <span class="koboSpan" id="kobo.123.1"></span> with incrementing numbers at the start of each paragraph.

With that you can go in and out of the book and not be kicked back to the start of the entire book or the current chapter you're reading; it starts you right at the very same page you left it as it should.
I would be happy to try and add Japanese support to my kepubify tool if someone gives me a few regexes for sentence boundaries.
