change countries in itunes

I have recently moved from Japan to the UK. I use an iPad and iPhone. I wish to change my iTunes store country location from Japan to the UK. All the information I see in Communities is vague and confusing. Apple support itself seems to ignore this. I have many apps that I bought on iTunes Japan.
