Google translate should be good enough.

If the readme looks like this:
(click to show/hide)

Then it's because the file is encoded in Shift-JIS and your computer doesn't have the Japanese settings installed to read it. If you download Notepad++ (an awesome text editor that everyone should use instead of Notepad anyway) then you can specify the encoding yourself:
(click to show/hide)

And then it should look like actual Japanese text!
(click to show/hide)

You can then copy this into google translate to see what it means.

Oh, I forgot about that, I use Notepad++ for japanese readme files too.
