Yes of course I answered more in detail.
This is a comment in parenthesis so please do not think
it so seriously ;-)

I am not sure that the following translation is precise
or not, but an outline is as follows;

You can edit /etc/lynx.cfg so that it looks like

CHARACTER_SET:euc-jp

or you can press 'O' key in lynx to start option menu
and select 'Japanese (EUC-JP)' in 'Display character set'
to support Japanese but you can install lynx-ja then you 
need nothing to do.
