I'd suggest first installing _Japanese Integrated Learning Tool_
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/jilt

This extension will help you in reading Japanese.

Then install  _Default Settings for Japanese_
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/DSFJ

This extension will change a number of default settings, so that OOo
produces better looking documents in Japanese.  (Some of the settings
also improve the looks of documents in Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese.)

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/dictionary?cid=926385 is where
dictionaries hang out. I don't know what happened to the CJKV
dictionaries that used to be available for OOo. :(

If you haven't installed a _Method Input Editor_, you need to do that
before installing the extensions I mentioned above.

Which IME to use, and how to install it, depends upon the operating
system that you use.

There was (and probably still is) a pretty good one, in Japanese, linked
from somewhere within ja.openoffice.org.
