I just installed Tesseract OCR and after running the command $ tesseract --list-langs the output showed only 2 languages, eng and osd. My question is, how do I load another language, in my case specifically, Japanese?

This works for me:

sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr-jpn

1. pip install pytesseract

2. for windows install tesseract-ocr from 
https://digi.bib.uni-mannheim.de/tesseract
select all language options while installing

3. set the tesseract-ocr path under anaconda/lib/site-packages/pytesseract/pytesseract.py

tesseract_cmd = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tesseract-OCR\\tesseract.exe'

4. from pytesseract import image_to_string
print(image_to_string(test_file, 'jpn')) #for Japenese text extraction
