With MkIV you can set different fonts for Japanese with the fontfallback
mechanism, there is not documentation about it but you can on the net
a few examples how to use it:

The simplefonts modules provides a fontspec inspired interface to use
the mechanism in a simpler way:

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setcjkmainfont[IPAMincho]
\setcjksansfont[IPAGothic]
\setcjkmonofont[KanjiStrokeOrders]

\starttext
...
\stoptext
