The main issue you may find is that you are likely to be unable to get service for that Japanese iPhone, if needed, in your country, or said service will be limited to only certain functions and parts.


You will also find that there are some things, such as the Japan-mandated "click" when you take a picture, that are unique to that model of phone. Also there may be issues with some carriers since the cell frequencies and bands may differ between the two countries, though I haven't researched it to know for sure.


As to the user manual, Apple to my knowledge no longer includes any printed materials with any of their devices.


Regards.
