TeX Live 2012 includes pTeX/upTeX so if you can install TeX Live 2012 and you don't need to stick to XeTeX, I believe pTeX/upTeX would be the best solution for you. XeTeX is good enough for ordinary Japanese type setting but for vertical type setting it is not enough as far as I know. I guess LuaTeX (or Omega etc.) is practically not usable for vertical type setting neither. I'm very sorry if you need a solution with XeTeX.
