Why were there 350 Japanese bomber to bomb Pearl Harbor while US sent 16 bombers to bomb Japan in World War 2?

Japan should have been so lucky. From 1943 on an almost endless stream of daytime and nighttime B-29 bombing (and later, fire-bombing) raids was made on Japan with B-29 bomber squads numbering up to five to six hundred bomber planes. And that is not counting the naval air attacks that started in 1945 from aircraft carriers or the extensive mine laying operations from the air, aimed at destroying shipping to Japan and so starving the enemy. The result by most estimates was: around 300,000 civilians killed and another 4-500,000 wounded.

What were the shorten-term causes of the battle of Iwo Jima?
In the summer of 1944 the US captured the Mariana Islands, and built several huge airfields on these islands. From these the US 20th Air Force began bombing Japan, using the B-29 long range bomber. About halfway from the Marianas to Japan was Iwo Jima. The Japanese had an airfield on Iwo, from which fighter planes rose to attack the American bombers going to and from Japan. The Japanese on Iwo could radio Japan and warn them that an attack was coming. It was a long round trip for bombers based in the Marianas to go to and return from Japan. Planes damaged over Japan had little choice but to crash in the vast Pacific, and their crews were seldom rescued. So, to eliminate the Japanese fighters based on Iwo, to end the warnings of American raids on Japan from Iwo, and to provide an emergency landing strip for damaged bombers returning from Japan, were the short range goals. After Iwo was taken US fighter planes were based there, and escorted the US bombers on the raids to Japan, to protect the bombers from Japanese fighter planes over Japan.
