If you input only Hiragana characters, you can use Emacs's builtin  
input method.

For example,

M-x set-input-method japanese
Type Ctrl + \ to turn on Japanese input
Type a
     you'll see an underlined character 'あ'
     (Type space if you would like to convert Hiragana to Kanji words)
     Type return if OK
     a character 'あ' is inserted
Type Ctrl + \ to turn off Japanese input


If you would like to input more characters including Kanji, I  
recommend to use OSX's input method (Kotoeri).
