I have the exact same problem - I am a New Zealander, living in Japan, who has purchased the Japan Kobo Clara 2e not knowing I'd have this issue with OverDrive. I've followed the exact same steps as OP without success.
My question is, how do I change my Kobo's country to New Zealand, as mentioned is possible by DNSB? I will be using my Auckland Libraries account / Libby to borrow books, never Japanese libraries.
Thank you very much in advance, otherwise I will sell this Kobo.

Changing your Kobo’s country is incredibly simple. However, you can’t do it on your Kobo.
Go to kobo.com and sign in. Under “My Account”, select “Payment Information”. Tap on the “…” to edit, and change your country there.
Since Overdrive relies on your specified country to serve books, once you change to Auckland, NZ as your country while using Auckland libraries, there shouldn’t be any issue borrowing books while living in Japan.
