It would be interesting to find out where... maybe this works with Chinese
or Korean, if these languages are supported by polyglossia or some extra
package is required.

In the LaTeX preamble, write:
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\setCJKmainfont{Droid Sans Japanese}
and XeTeX will automatically use the "CJKmainfont" for Chinese, Korean and
Japanese Unicode characters.
+ no special markup of Japanese words/text required, it just works!
- package documentation is in Chinese.

To change text properties, select the text and go to Edit>Text
style>Custom (or similar, my LyX speaks German) and select from the
"Family" drop-down list.
There is also a tool-bar button to re-apply the last text-features
setting to the selection.

Polyglossia is the default language package used by LyX with "non-TeX
fonts".
+ It supports per-language and per-skript fonts defined with
\newfontfamily\<language>font{<Font Name>}
- it does not support Japanese.

The workaround with Babel is only advisable, if you have babel support for
Japanese installed and want the Japanese text parts with the correct
language setting.
(Problem: Although LyX knows which of the two language packages "babel"
and "polyglossia" support which languagages, it does not check which
language definition files are actually installed.)
