Since I moved to Ubuntu about 10 years ago Japanese input has worked
"out of the box". I get a rather deja-vu feeling when people say they're
having problems. That said, like Dave I don't write a lot of Japanese text,
and since I keep my old "xjdic" client running in a terminal window, it's
usually easier to type "@nihongo" into it and cut/paste the results than to
do the ctrl-space to turn the IME on and off.

On my Android devices (phone/tablet) the Japanese keyboard option is
invaluable.
