Dunno if you can trade these via a regular IB account. They have special Japanese domiciled accounts for trading Japanese securities. Maybe Nomura in Europe? I honestly don't think it's practical without a Japanese account.
1570 Nikkei Leverage is the biggest ETF.
BOJ is the major holder, and they are buying more all the time. In fact BOJ owns half of the ETF shares.

Listing (take the four digit ETF codes on the left and plug into Reuters with a .T suffix, such as 1570.T and you can get the basic info in English)
ETF - Yahoo Japan
If you want trade Vol there is just one long ETF, 2035 (normally shadows the VIX but possibly a good Japanese earthquake play)
