These days you won't even be allowed on the plane.

People all around the world travel when they're slightly ill or "under the weather" and pass immigration control all the time. I'm a European, and WE would not send you back because you sneeze or cough. It's fall, that's normal. I don't think the Japanese will send you back either, although they're very concerned about contageous diseases. But I'd recommend you just take an aspirin or two, and your "flu" will gonna be alright.

All arriving passengers are thermally scanned at international airports in Asia. It is done unobtrusively and most people aren't even aware while its being done. The scanning equipment has been in place across Asia since the SARS epidemic of a few years back. I read about it in Time magazine.
If you display H1N1 symptoms, then you will be brought by health authorities to a hospital and tested for H1N1. If you do not have H1N1, then you will be released. If you are positive for H1N1, then you will be quarantined until you recover.
Have you been tested for H1N1?

I don't think Japanese authority will send you back to US.
But if you have flu, they may keep you for a while for detailed health check to make sure that you don't have H1N1.
