This is actually a rather complicated situation.
On the "yes" side: Japan certainly has the expertise, technology and equipment to construct nuclear weapons. They also have ready access to weapons-grade raw materials.
On the "no" side: Japan has a non-nuclear policy (to be clear here: that refers to weapons, not reactors for generating power) and construction of nuclear weapons may be forbidden by their constitution (whether or not small "tactical" nuclear weapons would be forbidden is a question of interpretation). So far as is known, they've never conducted any nuclear weapons testing... and the US would almost certainly know if they had.
Probably the best answer is: there's no particular reason to believe that Japan has nuclear weapons at this moment, but there's also no particular reason to believe they couldn't put one or more together on very short notice if they really wanted to.
