Current Texinfo contains Japanese sample file doc/short-sample-ja.texi.
The following command can compile it.

$ PDFTEX=xetex texi2pdf short-sample-ja.texi
or
$ PDFTEX=luatex texi2pdf short-sample-ja.texi

For XeTeX, TeX Live 2012~2016 XeTeX related package and Japanese package,
and Chinese package are required.

For LuaTeX, TeX Live 2016 LuaTeX related package and Japanese package
are required.

pTeX cannot be used.

Here is another Japanese Texinfo sample.

If you can read Japanese texts,
the following web page describes making Japanese Texinfo files.
