My wife’s Japanese account works fine on a UK Kindle. Recently she did get a message saying she was no longer in Japan - I assume they allow a few purchases from outside Japan before they decide you’ve left permanently. A quick purchase via a VPN has reset this.

We downloaded free books via the phone app before purchasing an actual Kindle just to make sure it was possible.

I’d sign up with a VPN and take it from there.
