Maybe once: The leaflet mentioned below was (by some accounts) dropped on Hiroshima. However of the many versions of the leaflet which mention 33 imperiled Japanese cities, none ever mention Nagasaki, Hiroshima, or Kokura. So perhaps Japanese citizens in Hiroshima et.al. felt that the other cities were going to be bombed but that Hiroshima was not.
On August 1, 1945, five days before the bombing of Hiroshima, the U.S. Army Air Force dropped one million leaflets over Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and 33 other Japanese cities warning that those cities were going to be destroyed within a few days and advising the residents to leave to save their lives. One side of the leaflet had a photo of five U.S. bombers unloading bombs and a list of the targeted cities. The other side had the text. The English version of the leaflet is included in an article at the CIA website, "The Information War in the Pacific, 1945," by Josette H. Williams. OWI stands for Office of War Information:
Front side of OWI notice #2106, dubbed the "LeMay bombing leaflet," which was delivered to Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and 33 other Japanese cities on 1 August 1945. The Japanese text on the reverse side of the leaflet carried the following warning:
"Read this carefully as it may save your life or the life of a relative or friend. In the next few days, some or all of the cities named on the reverse side will be destroyed by American bombs. These cities contain military installations and workshops or factories which produce military goods. We are determined to destroy all of the tools of the military clique which they are using to prolong this useless war. But, unfortunately, bombs have no eyes. So, in accordance with America's humanitarian policies, the American Air Force, which does not wish to injure innocent people, now gives you warning to evacuate the cities named and save your lives. America is not fighting the Japanese people but is fighting the military clique which has enslaved the Japanese people. The peace which America will bring will free the people from the oppression of the military clique and mean the emergence of a new and better Japan. You can restore peace by demanding new and good leaders who will end the war. We cannot promise that only these cities will be among those attacked but some or all of them will be, so heed this warning and evacuate these cities immediately."

It depends where you place the start of World War 2. Japan had been fighting a war in China for years before the "Pacific War" started and many towns and villages were bombed there. This was the main reason the USA placed economic sanctions on Japan which precipitated the attack on Hawaii. Japan also bombed many places such as; Pearl Harbour, various airfields and towns in the Philippines, Singapore, many parts of the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), Darwin (Australia), parts of Burma and Calcutta in India. Many islands in the Pacific Ocean were bombed as part of the expansion of the area held by Japanese forces. From the Aleutian Islands in the north, to Midway, Wake, Guam and further south to the Solomon Islands and Port Moresby (New Guinea).
