Basically:
    apt-get install task-japanese

If you need anything more complex, install language-env or user-ja
and they'll configure everything for you.

If you need anything more complex than that, put this lot in your
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian-jp potato-jp main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian dists/potato-proposed-updates/
deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian-jp dists/potato-jp-proposed-updates/

and re-update. You'll have a huge bunch of Japanese packages to play
with.
