Meta Battle Subway PokeBase - Pokemon Q&A  Did Japan get Mew
instead of Mewtwo?  5 votes  I heard that when we got Mewtwo in
red/Blue, Japan got Mew in Red/Green. Is this true? If so, where
did they get Mew? In what cave? In what city. This is very
interesting to me so if you know, answer please, I want to know.

As far as I know, Mewtwo was still the main pokemon in Cerulean
Cave, same as the US/Europe versions. It was possible to get Mew
in all versions from a glitch (search YouTube for videos).  They
gave Mew away at various events across the world - real life
events like at the Toys R Us store. There may have been more
events in Japan since pokemon is even more popular there.  There
was also a Mew event recently for HG/SS on wi-fi in Japan. No
word on whether it will come to the US/Europe yet.  EDIT: Mew
