Me too, and I've already posted twice my simple recipe (included below) 
for getting it working, and I'm left baffled why people are still saying 
things don't work.

I had started to wonder if it was because I use xfce, but if it works on 
Cinnamon too that is unlikely. I also doubt it is Mint, as I think all 
the packages are Ubuntu-maintained ones.

---------------
sudo apt install fcitx5-mozc fcitx5-pinyin

With all the deps it becomes 60 packages, 123MB archives, 456MB of disk!

Then you _must_ logout and login.

Now right-click the keyboard icon in the panel, configuration.
Search for "mozc" and double-click to add. Do same with "pinyin".

Ctrl-space now works to start/stop Japanese.
Use ctrl-right-shift (or ctrl-left-shift) for it to be Pinyin instead, 
and to loop round between IME choices.
