If I recall correctly, in shift-JIS, the backslash does not exist. Its
code point was re-used for the Yen symbol (¥) instead. On Shift-JIS
windows the Yen symbol is used as a path separator.

You will need to use psql in a Unicode command prompt where the
backslash character is available. Alternately you might be able to use ¥
as a directory separator instead, so try:

C:\>psql --file="構築フォルダ¥A_TBL.sql" --dbname=testdb

... or use the UNIX-style path separators that Windows understands and
accepts just fine:

C:\>psql --file="構築フォルダ/A_TBL.sql" --dbname=testdb
