There is a section on 3ds.guide dedicated to changing your 3DS Region. It should be at the last page of the guide.

But you don't need that since you can play every region locked game with CFW

why would he use eShop, if he has CFW? does not make sense

 

[Kurausukun]

As surprising as it may be, not EVERY user of CFW is a pirate.

 

[Clector]

Yes, you can region change the console.
But note that you can"t use and make the eShop works in a New 3DS model without patches.

 

[Pacheko17]

Not really worth it, but 3ds.guide explains it.

 

[Giodude]

Explain why you need to change your region. Many features of changing regions have already been implemented into luma, such as fixing crashes in out of region games.

Can't you change the menu to English in system settings? After that you can use luma's to force games with English options to English. If they don't have English, use freeshop to download the USA versions.

The Home Menu is Japanese, that's why.
Also like in SSB4 JP version on US 3DS changes it to English. It could be that the games will be Japanese because Japanese 3DS, even on USA games.

there is only Japanese language on a japanese console.
in fact, there is no option where you can change the language at all.

In that case changing the region is probably the best option, unless the new luma system application can patch the home menu.
