Hi, Welcome to DS. I would imagine that if you get a good converter it should work. You can ask when you place your order. Not the first system going to Europe. Good luck. PS the other posts are not necessary. Replies are not instant.

Almost all PSUs worth considering these days have "universal" AC inputs that adjust automatically without the need for manual switching or converters. I looked at the lowest level Lynx and it does too. You shouldn't need an actual converter at all, just an adapter. As a personal anecdote I also moved internationally with a DS computer from 2013 and never had any issues at all (just needed to make sure I had the proper adapter for the plug).

Generally when you move from place to place with different voltages frequencies, and you have a modern PSU you don't need to make any changes aside from ensuring that you have the proper plug adapter (note that this is not the same thing as an actual converter, an adapter simply makes sure the plug fits into the socket). Of course you'll want to do your own due diligence once you have your PC and ensure that the PSU you were provided with supports the range of the country you are in (or if for some reason it has the archaic manual switch). But generally speaking, yes, your desktop will do just fine as you move between countries.

Power Supply Unit, it's the part of your computer that feeds power to all the components and plugs into the wall. The specs for the Lynx will list information about the PSU and then when you get the computer you should also have documentation about it to confirm those specs.

Yes, I believe DS delivers to Japan. However I cannot confirm that nor can I give you any price information. For those questions you'll need to contact DS directly.
