I set up a Japanese account just last week to test this out.
1. You need a Japanese account with 楽天ID as you surmised.
2. You need a Japanese street address. You won’t need it when setting up the account, but when you try to download samples or purchase a book, you’ll be prompted to fill out that information when you are prompted for credit card information. I chose to use a Japanese publisher’s info.
3. Once you have the above set up, the JPanese Kobo store will take American credit and debit cards without a hitch. I don’t know how it will work in Canada. At any rate, I purchased a Japanese book with no issues feom the Japanese Kobo store.
4. I’m drawing a blank at the moment because I also set up a Japanese Kindle at the same time, but I think you need to select 日本語 as the language, but that may be optional.
Let me know if you run into problems setting it up.
