The prayer "Our Father" in Japanese from "The Church of the Pater Noster",
a church in Israel that has mosaics of the "Our Father" in many different languages:

Church of Pater Noster
Text:

天においでになる私たちの父よ、み名が聖とされますように。み国が来ますように。
み胸 が 天 に 行われる よう に 地 にも 行われます ように。
私たちの日々のかてを今日もお与えください。私たちが負い目を持つ人を許すように、私たちの負い目をお許しください。私たちを試みに合わせず、悪からお救いください。アメン。


Practicing Typing Japanese input Using a Computer

 To write lists and read stuff in Japanese, I'd recommend:
  1. Enable website reading helper and dictionary - Rikaichan
    1. Rikaichan is for Mozilla Firefox (not Internet Explorer). Go to Tools->Add Ons, and search for Rikaichan. After Rikaichan is installed, you will need to download the Japanese dictionary. After this, you can read any Japanese website with some help!
    2. Also, Rikaichan contains a lookup dictionary that you can refer to anytime. However, input using hiragana is required, so enabling Japanese input for your OS is a requirement.
  2. Enable Japanese input on Windows OS - follow this guide
  3. How to Set Your Windows Up
        1. Go to Start (as usual).
        2. Go to Control Panel. Select Date, Time, and Language Options.
            Or Regional and Language Options.

        3. In Regional and Language Options, select the Languages Tab.
        4.Under Languages Tab, check out Supplemental language support.
           
    Tick the box Install files for East Asian languages. Click Apply.
           
    This will install the files needed for Japanese.
            At this point you may now read Japanese fonts in Internet Explorer
            or Notepad instead of characters like this -> [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []  
    5. Now, to be able to WRITE, you must select input language - Japanese.
