how do i search through japanese websites, given that I speak no japanese?

Please open http://babelfish.altavista.com and write the desired
Japanese web address in a specific box. Then choose translate from
Japanese to English. The translation will be available shortly.

This is also possible at ://www.google.com/translate_t.

There are more translation support available at
http://www.ilovelanguages.com/index.php.

Regards.
