Best Answer

The U.S. struck Japanese forces almost immediately after Pearl Harbor. Japan was bombed for the first time in 42' during the Doolittle raid (named after the general who commenced it). Japanese homeland had American troops in it at Iwo Jima, 1945. This is part of Japanese sacred homeland and can be considered attacking the country of Japan (as in entering it's borders). Now, their could be other islands that were part of Japan that were attacked, but I don't know of any besides Okinawa and Iwo Jima.
