Getting credit cards in Japan for non-Japanese might be a hard task, even if you have enough earnings and your bank account(s). I’m not exactly sure why it’s even hard for those who’s got MONEY and STATUS…
Alternatives? Pre-paid credit cards are not available in Japan (yet or will never be…). Even it’s hard for you to get credit cards, you can set up bank accounts easily compared to getting credit cards.
Most Japanese bank cards come with debit cards, so you can use your bank card to purchase and/or pay if the shop accepts debit cards.
VISA Japan offers debit cards, too and you can get it from Suruga Bank. VISA debit cards can widely be used among VISA partner shops.

According to Damien, there are a few people who are charging anywhere from €550 to €1500 (Euros). This equates to $857.00 to $2,338.33. I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind who would pay that amount to have WordPress installed for them.
I’ve posted about this on my blog and another site (FPN) popular to Internet users in Japan. Japanese don’t really leave comments on blog itself, but they comment within their favorite social bookmarks.
So according to comments left on Hatena bookmark, so far at this point I’m writing this, most people find $857.00 (or somewhere around $500) as reasonable price for installation of WordPress.
I’m not exactly sure how many of them are on customer side, how many are on provider side. But this is very interesting by comparing comments left on Weblog Tools Collection.
