Did anyone say Aztec macehuiltin rush? Seriously, 15 maces followed by pumas and coyotes will pwn japs if u can get them early enough.
Maces can actually counter ashis...
Pumas kill Naginatas and can siege raid shrines...
Coyotes can villie raid and kill Yumis...
Then they FF >_< and get jaguar prowl knights, which basically own everything but yumis, and can even beat those in stealth.

Yeah, anyone with a high-unit-count and fairly early rush can beat the Japs pretty easy (Russia/Aztec, sometimes Sioux/Iro), other than that your best choice is to use a civ that can sustain an early double rax rush like France.
Or use a civ that counters their units REALLY hard, like Ottos.
Or just out boom them, Brits are fairly good vs them, and the Dutch early fortress can hold up pretty well.
But, the civs mentioned first are the better ones to use vs Japs.
India's kinda difficult, but still beatable, just have to watch out for the FI they have going atm.
