Possibly silly question: Is that a utf-8 string, or Unicode?
print unicode(var, "utf8").encode("iso-2022-jp")
On my computer (Japanese XP), your string round-trips between utf-8 and
iso-2022-jp without problems.
Another possible thing to look at is whether your Python output terminal can
print Japanese OK. Does it choke when printing the string as Unicode?
