Is it possible to receive japanese satellites/channels in Europe?

No, sadly it isn't possible to receive the regular japanese channels in Europe. The satellites which transmit the domestic channels are in Europe below the horizon. However there is the possibility to receive special programmes for international viewers.

JSTV, a pay-tv channel which broadcasts programmes in japanese, is being broadcasted on Hotbird 13° east. The subscription fee is 50 euro per month - if there is no current promotion also 150 eur connection fee has to be paid. Most part of the programme (which consists of movies, serials and music) is encrypted in CryptoWorks. JSTV also transmits about 7 hours per day unencrypted programmes from NHK World (various news and documentaries).

NHK World is being transmitted free-to-air on Panamsat 68° east. The programme consists of news and documentaries, however they don't broadcast entertainment programmes. The reception is possible with a diameter of around 180cm and bigger. On the same satellite also the pay-tv channel NHK World Premium is being broadcasted, but sadly it is not possible to subscribe to this channel in Europe.
