Yes, Japan does have a military but has no army. Japan's military can only be used for self-defense and the reason why Japan does not have an army because they'll be bringing military weapons and vehicles to attack other countries.

Japan.
Japan is limited by it's post WW2 constitution (as required by the US); Japan does NOT have a military. Japan has a SELF DEFENSE FORCE. They are no longer allowed to fight wars; war is out-lawed. Japan has the right to defend themselves; hence...the Self Defense Force.
The Japanese Constitution afforded the military a lot of power at the time. If the Army or Navy minister stepped down, it instantly brought the government down. As a result of this power, after Japan's decisive military victory against powers like Russia, the people were supportive of their control.
Japan has had a modest military since the post-WWII Allied Occupation. It has around 250,000 active personnel, with approximately 60,000 reserves. It has a budget of around $55 billion, which is 1% of its GDP. The economy of Japan is the third largest in the world. Japan is the world's largest creditor nation. Therefore Japan's economic power is greater than its military might.
