It is, but I've realised that it would obviously also turn off some of the
more useful CJK things that xeCJK provides such as line-break handling. So if
your little string of Japanese appears at the end of a line, it'll all go
horribly wrong. I don't use xeCJK but when I'm mixing English and Japanese I
use a macro like this:
\newfontinstance\japanesefont{Hiragino Mincho Pro}
\def\japanese{\XeTeXlinebreaklocale "jp"
\XeTeXlinebreakskip0pt plus 1pt
\japanesefont\small}
But since you are using xeCJK, (which is obviously much easier than marking up
every single bit of Chinese!) Honda-san's suggestion is best.
