This is the volunteer DIY forum. It might not be necessary to actually change the keyboard. I think it would be simpler too to drop a skin/protector over the keyboard, OR just change the keys if needed ( a touch typist shouldn't really care what's written on the keys).
For parts availability and costs contact iFixit (link is at the bottom of the page).

The Japanese keyboard layout is quite a bit different:
MacBook Nihon-go Keyboard Photo
Better to buy the Japanese MacBook, and then type in English on that.
If you're concerned about the key layout, this will help (a lot!):
