Terminal change involved or same terminal?
If booked with BA it'll be Terminal 5, if booked with ANA or JAL it'll be a transfer from 5 to 2 or 3. BA is the only airline to fly EDI to LHR and I'm pretty sure all of those go to T5.You'll also be exiting the UK so you'll need to go through security again which can take up to 30 mins, at T5 or T2 you'll also be going to the far off gates to get on the larger planes.
I don't think he's going to have much time to spend in a lounge, probably not enough time enjoy a sandwich as boarding a large flight starts almost an hour ahead of scheduled departure.

We’ve got a flight from Edinburgh to Heathrow then a 2 hour wait for our connecting flight to Haneda.
The OH wants to book a lounge but honestly I don’t think we’ll be there long enough to make it worthwhile. How much time will we actually have in the lounge in that 2 hours?

Same terminal (T5)I didn't realise we'd have to go through security again. That means even less time.
The flights to Haneda usually leave from the B or C concourse, so you'll also need to take the transit system to the satellite terminal which will easily add another 10-15 mins.
If you're looking for excuses to tell the wife you shouldn't book the lounge, I'm sure we can come up with even more.

Edit: always take the lifts, much quicker than the escalators which are designed to spread and slow the flow of people. Or if you’re trying to convince your wife a lounge was a waste of money do it the other way….
