Because the Japanese surrendered. Avoiding the need for an invasion was the primary reason the decision was made to drop the atomic bomb (this was, believe it or not, the humanitarian choice; civilian casualties in an invasion were expected to be many, many times larger than those caused by the atomic bombs).
