I don't have kids myself, but flew back from Tokyo just last week and there were 2 kids in front of us (one approx 18 mths old, the other maybe 9 months... not the same family!). It was a 10 hour flight (Melbourne - Narita direct) and both kids seemed to handle it really well. They were seated in the middle of the exit row which had 2 fold-down bassinettes on the wall and both kids slept in them, so I'm guessing they were comfortable! Any time I've been on a plane and people have had kids, the airline staff have been pretty attentive and helpful to the parents.
The language barrier definitely exists, but alot of people do speak at least a little english. I didn't spend much time in Tokyo but seeing as it's a big tourist destination I'm guessing that it'd be pretty user-friendly
As for the unsettling aspect for Zaccie, as long as mummy and daddy are there he won't mind where he is
