If your browser isn't capable of viewing Japanese characters you've probably noticed a good deal of gibberish on Japanese pages. There are programs one can download to convert that gibberish into intelligible Japanese (intelligible, that is, if you understand Japanese to begin with).
Personally, I use a shareware program called NJWIN CJK, version 1.6 (for Windows 3.1/95/98).
It can be downloaded at http://www.njstar.com.au/njwin/download.htm.
There are other methods for viewing Japanese, which I will post here after I figure them out.
