the US used a tactic called "island-hopping". For strategic island targets, aerial and naval bombardment destroyed anything on land. Then troops would invade the island, eventually securing the island from any Japanese pillboxes. If an island was considered of no strategic importance, then a full naval and aerial bombardment would be carried out, until there as nothing much left of the island and then they could move on. That tactic was used all the way to Iwo Jima. From then on, it would be nuclear bomb explosions, or a full-fledged invasion of Japan, that would end the war.
