Some of the special fares are available for sale in originating country (Germany) only.
This is probably one of those. You will probably get the same high fare if you use a Japanese address.
Assuming this is an eTicket, you could just call LH in Germany to ticket it. Note it is a restriction on location of sales, not nationality.
