Are you getting the map from Garmin Japan ? I do not recall Garmin selling Japan map. Usually it is a third party map

There is really a lack of Japanese maps in English. Japan is unique in that search is by telephone number thus navigating via POI there is challenging to difficult as not names in map or signboard is in Japanese. What you have to do is to build your own POI's before departure via Mapsource / Basecamp and transfer it to your GPS.

FYI I am using this map http://uud.info/en/map/
This is an English maps for Japan for Garmin GPS , The map is not that detail but good enough to get you around

you can try this osm map for garmin

or open street map for garmin
http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/

Please unzip your file... the Map file name should be gmapsupp.img and must be placed in SD card Garmin folder.
