There is no such thing as a Japanese Alphabet. The Japanese use 3 different systems of writing, but none of them are alphabetic.

Kanji, or Chinese characters, are used for most verbs and words.

Hiragana, a simplified and flowing script, is used for verbal conjugation or when you don't remember the Kanji for a certain word.

Katakana, a simplified and angular script, is used for words borrowed from other languages.

What is Japanese writing called?

The Japanese writing system is based on Chinese writing, and is typologically an ideographic system with elements of a syllabic system. The art of Japanese writing is called calligraphy. To be precise, modern Japanese is written using three writing systems: 1. Kanji (Chinese characters) are ideographic and stand for whole words or morphemes on their own. 2. Hiragana (syllabic characters, or a syllabary similar to an alphabet) is used to spell out Kanji in pronounceable syllables, if needed, or to spell out the endings and inflections and particles used to build sentences. 3. Katakana (a second syllabary similar to hiragana) is used to spell out foreign words or in advertising; it's function is similar to italics in English. Japanese also has an official romanization called Romaji, which is a system for spelling Japanese using Roman (Latin) letters. Kana
