Changing region on my iphone

I live in Japan, but my iphone has the North American regional lock on it. So I cannot download certain Japanese apps. Is there a way I can change the region on my phone to Japan? I am concerned I will lose all of the data on my phone if I change regions.

Thank you for your time.

iPhone 8, iOS 14
