Award RTW rules vary wildly from each other and from revenue RTW awards. The itinerary you've posted would not be valid as a UA award, for example.

Starting in Japan would be cheaper cash-wise but you'd be missing that first segment. Could redeem just that as an award and then do the RTW from there and have an extra segment back to Japan to use eventually but that might not be worth it.
