No, they did not. They couldn't even come up with a decent RADAR unit for their ships like the Allies had. They had no warplanes big enough to carry the Atomic Bomb anywhere useful. By the time the Atomic bombs were dropped (killing 85,000 and 65,000 people each) Tokyo was 3/4 destroyed by conventional bombing. On the first day of using conventional incendiary bombs on Tokyo, 100,000 of its citizens were killed. One the first day! Many other Japanese industrial and port cities were similarly wiped out.
