Yes, in WWII. They signed the Anti-Comintern pact in 1936 and the tripartite pact in 1940, to join the "Axis Rome-Berlin" from 1936 (ratified 1939 as the "Pact of steel"). Italy left the Axis pact in 1943. Soviet was also with the Axis 1939-41.
The Japanese was focussed on their own war theatre, continuing the Asian expansion with war on China 1937, thus not connected to the European conflict. The pact didn't place any obligations to assist directly in each others' wars.
First after the attack on USA in 1941, United Kingdom declared war on Japan, and Germany and Italy against USA. Then China also joined the Allies in 1941. Thereafter Japan invaded British held territories and also drove away the US troops from some places in Asia. The colonial territories of France were collaborating with Japan due to the Axis-friendly Vichy-France government.
However Stalin declared war on Japan first in 1945, when everything was finishing, as they had a non-aggression pact signed in 1941. Hitler tried to persuade Japan to declare war on Soviet, but they preferred to focus on other conflicts, and attack Siberia only if Hitler would be successful.
The Japanese and Germans didn't fight together, but had other collaboration: trade of resources and advanced military equipment, sharing military technology and intelligence. making official visits to inspect military installations and to learn or teach with specialists. Making synchronised plans to keep enemy countries busy and weakened. Until operation Barbarossa the Germans and Japanese sent resources and large equipment (even aircraft) on the Trans-Siberian railway, after that, most had to be sent by submarines.
In WWI, however, Japan joined the Entente with France, UK and Russia against "the triple alliance" of Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary (expanded to he "Central powers").
