Not necessarily. There is no word or phrase in English that requires a comma. Often may take a comma when used as the first word in a sentence, immediately followed by explanation. For example, instead of the straightforward I often read on the long bus-ride home, some people might say Often, on the long bus-ride home, I read...

Yes most of the time people pause after they say the word often for example: have you ever heard any one just keep talking really fast after they say the word often?

If you begin a sentence with 'however' is it followed with a comma?

In many cases, the word 'however' is followed by a comma. The problem with the word is that one must be careful not to over use a comma. However the word is used,(note that there is no comma used in this connection) the word itself frequently does not need a comma as an automatic punctuation.However, (meaning 'on the other hand') phrasing will most often determine if the word is followed by a comma. These two instances here are examples of when to use or not use the comma as punctuation for this word. When the word is used as a substitute for the phrase 'on the other hand', it is most often followed by a comma.
