The first notable retaliation on the part of the United States was the Doolittle Raid which occurred on April 18th, 1942.
It targeted the Japanese home island of Honshu and although it did relatively little infrastructure damage, it shocked the Japanese and terrified their population because the belief had been that the United States presence in the Pacific had been destroyed, yet there were bombers overhead in the heart of Japan that were dropping bombs on major cities.
It sent shock waves through the empire of Japan, and caused immediate alarm and change of wartime policies for Japan, completely altering their war strategy moving forward.
I've added a link to a brief overview of the Doolittle Raid to the bottom of this question.
