Hi Akihiro,

you need a font with japanese characters, the original TeX fonts
have only glyphs for latin languages.

You can choose a font from the font directory in your system that
has support for japanese.

The following should work on windows:

\font\1="Arial Unicode MS"\1

はてなに

\bye

Wolfgang
