It would depend upon the policies persued by either side- Japan would seek every possible means to avoid becoming a target, and much prefers that the US persues the diplomatic route to defusing tensions with North Korea. It would be unwilling to host a US military presence, as this would most surely make it a legitimate target in the eyes of the North Korean regime- however, if Kim Jong-Un launched an attack against Japan anyway (simply due to Japan being an economically powerful capitalist country with strong economic and business ties to the United States), then the Japanese would welcome American support against North Korean aggression. Ever since WW2, Japan has been forbidden by the international community from developing an army powerful enough to take offensive action, and also from developing the atom bomb- it's military strength is confined to a defensive role only, in the event of aggressive behaviour from Another Country. Japanese atrocities committed during the last World War are still too fresh in people's minds for Japan to be seen sending troops or warships to attack another nation, even if it was once again the victim of a nuclear strike- it's main support of the US would be economic, logistical, and technical, although if the situation became VERY bad, then the Japanese Government may feel that it had nothing to lose by allowing US troops, aircraft and battleships to be stationed within it's territory.

japan
If North Korea started a war with South Korea what actions would the USA Japan and China take?
Probably if North Korea started a war, USA would go on and help South Korea for they are more friendly and because of similar government. China would help North Korea because of their similar government too. Japan would help South Korea because they are more of a close friend. Not because of a similar government. ---- if North Korea started a war, it would be my guess that USA, Japan, and China will help South Korea because North Korea is trying to send nuclear bombs to USA and other places.

South Korea- although the North now possesses missile technology sufficient to reach Japan and the North Western USA, South Korea is it's main target. They would start a war with South Korea first because they have been at each other for many years. If it would be a world war, then I don't know.
Why is North Korea trying to launch a nuclear weapon at the US?
North Korea does not actually intend to use a nuclear weapon against the United States, since there is nothing that North Korea would actually gain from using it. If North Korea launched a nuclear missile at the United States, it would immediately (1) lose the backing of China, which is the only reason that the United States refuses to invade North Korea, (2) start a hot war with the United States whose army could destroy the North Korean military, and (3) make North Korea a complete international pariah.North Korea trades on the threat that it will use a nuclear weapon against South Korea, Japan, and the United States in order to get desperately needed aid money and supplies from its enemies. It is nothing more than an extortion racket that North Korea employs as a method overcome the fact that the country makes no product worthy of export other than ginseng (which nobody wants).
Why would the North Korean leader not let South Korean people work in North Korea?
North Korea has recently declared that it is at war with South Korea. This is not really because of anything South Korea has done, but rather it is an attempt to pressure the international community which has recently enacted economic sanctions against North Korea, in an effort to discourage North Korea from pursuing its nuclear weapons program. North Korea cannot pretend to be at war with South Korea and still conduct business as usual with them. That would not make sense, and would show that the declaration of war is meaningless. Whether North Korea will take the next step, of actually invading South Korea, remains to be seen. If they do, then they will have a real war on their hands.
