Japan doesn't want an official military. They're allowed to have one, but they don't want to. However, Japan does have a 'self-defense' force.
The Japanese also contribute troops to UN peace-keeping and election monitoring missions - having taken part in 13 such missions to date.

Does Japan have a military?
Yes, Japan does have a military but has no army.

After WW2, they were banned by the rules. Japan can only use its military in defense.
Why the military came to Japan in 1930?

I think we don't need it and Japan can have their own military and protect by themselves. I'm Japanese. Then do you think that we need American military in Okinawa?
Japan has their own military, though for political reasons following the Second World War, the Japanese government is required to refer to it as a "self defence force". The continued American military presence in Japan is the result of conditions laid out after the Japanese surrender in 1945. As to whether or not having US military stationed in Japan is necessity or not, as far as Japan's defence goes, it probably isn't. The value of keeping US troops their is probably more for the capability of providing a support base for operations in the Korean peninsula, in the event of hostilities breaking out between the ROK and the DPRK.

Does Japan have a army in 2009?
Yes and no. Although Japan has three branches to its military, just as any other modern military, these are referred to as the Ground Self Defense Force, Maritime Self Defense Force and Air Self Defense Force. They are never referred to officially as an army, navy or air force because article nine of the Japanese constitution renounces Japan's sovereign right to war and forbids the use of force in resolving international disputes. So although there are military forces in Japan, admitting this would place Japan at risk of breaching the law. Instead Japan is allowed only the minimum military presence necessary to defend its independence, and must rely on protection from the US to protect itself further.
