Hello - and no, I dont think you are over-reacting. I have been to Japan from the UK to do veterinary work; it is a fascinating country and an incredible culture to experience. It would also be a very long flight for a cat, with different local diseases, and it sounds as though you have a tough decision to make. Your vet is the best person to talk to you about your cats' medical history (after all, they would have to sign a Fitness to Travel document) and they can also look up the legal requirements involved in such a move - it may be that they cannot be met, so this is important. It could be that they think it better for your pet to make foster arrangements for a year, but you won't know if you don't ask. Best to make an appointment to talk this over - I expect that they will have to do some research ahead of your appointment, so do let them know on the phone and ask them to warn the vet in advance as to what it's about.
