I set up a 楽天ID, connected to kobo.com with it, went to the store (automagically set to kobo.com/jp, no VPN needed), checked out a book, used my French credit card, and everything worked flawlessly.
So the important thing was the 楽天ID. Now I feel kind of stupid not to have tried that earlier.
Anyway, thank you all, folks. 読みましょう!!
