Not native, but I can read most kanji at 10px. (Some of the more complex ones with 12 or more strokes can be a bit difficult but you can usually guess them from context)

I notice that I have a lot more trouble trying to read Japanese in smaller fonts, but I'm also not that great at reading it to begin with.

At least Japanese has katakana & hiragana, though, which have only a few strokes and are quite prevalent in normal writing. I've seen dense walls of tiny Chinese writing that looked positively impenetrable.

Yeah but reading it at 10px is a pain in the ass. Unfortunately it seems like everything is 10px.
