I like using web views including rendering them to png or pdf
Apple has some janky old UIKit and less-so AppKit support for Japanese that's portable to use from SwiftUI so I get by without needing web views for every label. However it's still nice to just use a web view for primary content.
There's zero input support for advanced Japanese features on native Apple platforms basically, like ruby text editing, but they can be bolted on cleverly with work. Or just use a web view.
