I used Alt+~ on my Windows box. It's configured in the language options like everything else IIRC.
On my Mac, I use command+shift+~. It's configured the exact same place you enable languages.

Installing Japanese Language Support in Linux
I'd help more directly, but I haven't run Linux in years, so I don't remember. I'll put it this way: if you can't figure out with Google how to install Japanese support for Linux, then maybe you aren't skilled enough to be running Linux in the first place.

There's a few different ways to type in Japanese, there is third party software such as the Google Japanese IME, but most people can get by with the IME built into windows.

Here's a good guide on setting up Japanese typing for different versions of Windows:
Typing In Japanese : SakuraBranch.com

You can also look for some of the online IME's available such as Ajax IME: Web-based Japanese Input Method

I hope this helps.
