In windows 8, I love how I can switch to Japanese input by pressing [Win key] + [space bar].

Can I do this in Windows 7 without auto hotkey or special programs?

  1. Change your default switch language shortcut to 'Ctrl'+'Shift', if you haven't already.
  2. Download AutoHotkey.
    Please note that you need version 1.1 (deprecated), otherwise the script will not work!
  3. Install and run it
  4. Right-click the icon in the taskbar menu and click "Edit This Script"
  5. Delete or comment out (each comment line starts with ";") the existing script
  6. Copy and paste this script:
#Space::
 WinWait, Program Manager, 
 Send, {CTRLDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}{SHIFTUP}{CTRLUP}
  1. Save changes and close editor
  2. Right-click the icon in the taskbar menu again and click "Reload This Script"

If AutoHotkey does not start after reboot, you should manually add it to autorun.

Go to start -> Type Language -> Change Keyboard or other Input Languages -> Go to the Keyboards and Languages Tab, and choose change keyboards. -> Change Key sequence...

But, it appears that key sequence is not supported / present.
