The only "Japanese" ebook format I've ever used is EPWING through Qolibri or ebview (both use libeb as their backend) [1][2]. It's typically used for dictionaries, but from what I can tell it would also make a fine general-purpose ebook format as it supports hypertext and embedded content. In fact I got a Holy Bible edition as part of my EPWING book collection [3].
