Oh?  I use it for all my Japanese stuff.  Nothing book-length, but I
can't say I'm at all dissatisfied.  The Japanese font situation sucks,
of course (except for the non-free stuff that comes with the Mac), but
it beats the hell out of trying to print Word-on-Windows files on the
Mac!  You do need to tell it that you're doing Japanese:

\usepackage{color}        % my standard preamble
\usepackage{graphicx}     % the first three are unrelated to Japanese
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}     % I'm not sure about these two
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\XeTeXlinebreaklocale "ja"    % voila!
\XeTeXlinebreakskip=0em plus 0.1em minus 0.01em
\XeTeXlinebreakpenalty=0

More specifics on the problems?
