The Red Bull driver will combine his Red Bull Racing Formula 1 reserve duties with a full Super Formula championship season.
The Kiwi was fifth-fastest on the final day of pre-season testing.
"Coming here [Japan] is a big challenge and it's not realistic to expect to beat them straight away,” he told Motorsport.com.
“Everyone that comes here struggles initially, so for me it's about breaking that barrier as soon as possible and deliver as early as possible in the season."
"The first races will be tough. I am here to win, but I'm not expecting to do that early on. I still need to learn."
The 22-driver grid will begin the 2023 season with race one at 3.15pm on Saturday (AEST) before race two at 3.30pm on Sunday.
New for the 2023 season is the SFgo app, which features live streaming, team radio, and GPS driver tracking.
The app allows users to watch two streams at once, with the option to view the onboard camera from any driver.
