There was a project called "Shodouka" which provided a simple and effective
solution for browsers. If you visit Shodouka first and then go to Japanese
site, you will get a proper view of the pages. I do not have the address to
hand, but a web search on "Shodouka" should not turn up too many misleading
items.
