( OPTION 2 ) How can I set Windows 10/Windows 8.1 to Japan/Japanese?

Some Japanese games require that, not only the System Locale, but also various other settings on your device be set to Japan / Japanese in order to function correctly.
If you ever encounter a product which spits out an error like “Japan only” or “Japanese only,” this is a sign that you will need to follow the instructions provided below.
System Locale (the language used by default for software that is not unicode compatible.)
  1. Press the Windows key, type ‘control panel’ and open the Control Panel.
  2. Click on Clock, Language, and Region / Clock and Region, then on Region.

(OPTION 5) Change Regional Format

(Commonly used as a means of region restriction. This alone can often resolve something intentional.)

* Press the Windows Button (for the start menu)
Settings (Cog Icon) > Time and Language > Region (on the left)

In the “Region” window, set “country or region” to Japan, and “regional format” to Japanese.

Change Timezone (While this is rare, it is also much simpler to do than the next step.)

In the “Date & time” window, set “Time Zone” to Japan (GMT+09:00) Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo.

(Your Windows 10 interface will become Japanese, so turning it back to another language will require that you either know your way around the operating system well, or understand some Japanese.)

* Press the Windows Button (for the start menu)
Settings (Cog Icon) > Time and Language > Language (on the left)

Under “Windows display language,” Select Japanese from the list of languages available.
* If Japanese is not available, you will need to “Add a language” (click the + plus icon) below and select 日本語 (Japanese). This will likely result in the installation of a Japanese language pack too, and allow for Japanese keyboard layout / input.

( OPTION 7 ) Change Keyboard

While it is very very rare that a game will require Japanese keyboard layout active, if you must, you can change the keyboard layout to Japanese, via the “Keyboard” menu. The button for which is found in the same “Language” window as above. Select “Japanese (Microsoft IME)”
