Is there a way to download an app only available in a certain region?

There's an app I'd like to download to my Android phone, but it's only been released in Japan. Is there still a way I can get it?

Welcome to Android Central! Try checking other app sources like SlideMe and GetJar. If it's not available there, you could search for the .apk file, but be aware that if the app is normally a paid app, then installing an extracted .apk file is essentially piracy. It's also a good way to get malware, unless the site is highly reputable.
