The standard OSM.org map style is actually completely neglected, not just
for non-Western users. Several people have converted the style to CartoCSS
[1], which is much friendlier to edit.

Before talking about getting Japanese/Korean style features rendered on the
OSM.org standard map, someone should first demonstrate it is possible, but
making sure an appropriate tagging system is in place and creating a map
style. For this last part definitely look into TileMill, which can also
load the openstreetmap-carto style.
