Before this happens, I want to know what Japan is like, and how their school systems work so that I may have a better grasp as to what to expect when I move there.

When you are in 11th grade the last thing you are going to want to do is separate from all your friends and graduate with strangers in Japan. I would consider doing an exchange for college, but going to a Japanese high school for your senior year seems like torture.
I am going to assume you are already pretty fluent in Japanese, or else this idea is hardly feasable.
Also you know that the Japanese school year is April to March with a month off in summer...so you are either going to miss the end of your 11th grade year, or come in the middle of your 12th grade year.
As a former teacher at a Japanese high school, trust me, you don't want to spend your senior year in Japan.
