Thanks for the article.
Unfortunately, it appears to be vaguely worded. Do we know if it
means, "the first human-to-human transmission ever recorded and
it just so happens to have occurred in Japan" or "the first
human-to-human transmission of tick-bourne disease to have
happened in Japan"? Given that this doesn't seem to have much
press, I'd say human-to-human has happened before but just not
in Japan. However, given the wording of the article, it just
isn't clear which one.
