Welcome to MobileRead. Glad you found us.

Other than using the utilities to add a new font to the Reader, the only way to view documents with a Japanese font is by using a PDF file with embedded fonts as Hadrien mentioned. The problem with that on the Sony Reader is that it resizes PDF pages to fit the 6.1" screen rendering normal A4 or letter sized pages almost unreadable. If you can create the PDFs sized to the Reader it should work fine.
