Disclaimer: I don't speak Japanese, the following advice is from my experience
using LibreOffice with Chinese content and very limited knowledge about Windows
fonts for East Asian languages.

In addition to Miguel's request for a sample file, I think you should also try
the following steps:

1. Make sure your LibreOffice has CJK/Asian text support turned on: open Tools
> Options dialog, check that "Asian" checkbox in "Language Settings > Languages
> Default Languages for Documents" is enabled, and set to "Japanese".

2. Use a proper Japanese font.  "Microsoft Yahei" is mainly designed for
Chinese, and while it contains most characters used by Japanese, the display is
probably going to be sub-optimal.  Neither "Lucida Sans Unicode" or "Liberation
Mono" contains any Han characters (called "kanji" in Japanese) AFAIK, so
LibreOffice has to search in the system's font list to find a font that has
them, which is likely the source of the slowness you see.  On any ordinary
Windows 7 or later (8, 8.1, 10) system, the "Yu Gothic"/"Yu Gothic UI" font
that's designed for Japanese should be available, try find and use that one.

3. If you are using the dropdown list widget on the toolbar or sidebar to set
the fonts, and things are still not working, try properly set the Asian font in
detailed format/style configuration dialog.  To do this, use "Format >
Cells..." dialog, "Font" tab, you'll see a second "Asian Text Font" dropdown
list if you enabled Asian text in step 1.  Make sure it's set to "Yu Gothic
(UI)".  Style configuration dialog has a similar "Font" tab.

Hope this helps.
