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).

An attempt to bomb the USA from Japan was tried using balloons which killed a woman and some children in Oregon.
