The attack was a top secret mission. No one except the attacking fleet and headquarters in Tokyo knew about it. Had anyone known about it, Germans included, they would not have believed that a large carrier strike force could cross such a vast amount of ocean without being detected. Secondly, no one would have believed that such a large force could get so close to a powerful United States Fleet WITHOUT detection...close enough to destroy it. Third, no one believed that the Japanese possessed the technically advanced torpedo and dive bombers required to do the job. It wasn't until AFTER the fatal beating at "Savo Island" that the US Navy began to stop underestimating the Imperial Navy.

Moving by stealth into attacking positions.
What if the Japan declared war before attacking Pearl Harbor?
Japan did issue a declaration of war to the US, with the idea that Pearl Harbor would be attacked before defenses could be mobilized. It backfired on them terribly because the declaration was not translated from Japanese to English until after the attack. If Japan had declared war and then attacked Pearl Harbor the next day, damage would have been much less and Japanese losses much higher. The success of the attack, on which Japanese strategy in the Pacific was based, depended on surprise.
