Hey, from https://askubuntu.com/questions/237941/how-to-configure-the-
clock-date-format-to-iso-8601-in-unity

I was able to sort this manually:

There's no easy way to do it in the GUI. One can either use dconf-editor
(which is GUI-ish), and edit two keys in
/com/canonical/indicator/datetime (time-format to custom, and custom-
time-format to the desired strftime directives, in your case %F %R (or,
equivalently, %Y-%m-%d %H:%M)), or do it directly from the terminal with
the following two commands (which, just to be clear, change the same
keys):

dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/datetime/time-format "'custom'"
dconf write /com/canonical/indicator/datetime/custom-time-format "'%F %R

I replaced %Y-%m-%d %H:%M with %Y年%m月%d日 %H:%M

However, the default remains not sane :)

Title:
  indicator-datetime displays the date unnaturally in Japanese

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The date should be (and has been in previous Ubuntu versions)
  displayed as follows (for YMD):

  2018年5月4日 (the symbols clearly mean year, month, day).

  Instead, they're displayed weirdly as "5月 4 2018" This is not the way
  a date would ever be written in Japanese. In gnome this happens on the
  lock screen as well.

  If you were writing a date without the year it would be:

  5月4日

  it doesn't make sense to leave off the 日.
