Is Japan part of Asia or Asia Pacific?
Japan is not part of Asia Pacific. As for Asia, it depends.
Japan is NOT part of Asia according to some Japanese. Japan is separated from Asian continent by water, and some Japanese believe it's not part of Asia.
They would say something like: "We are building new factories in Asia". In Japan, the phrase would explicitly mean "We are building new factories in Asia, but outside of Japan".
Asian is translated to ajia-jin in Japanese, but when they say ajia-jin, it usually excludes Japanese. It's somewhat analogous to the fact that some British believe UK is not part of Europe.
In the Western literature, Japan is almost always part of Asia.

Oriental vs Asian what's the difference?
Oriental: From or pertaining to the Orient.
Asian: From or pertaining to Asia.
Simple, no?
What constitutes "the Orient" is a matter of discussion, and has changed over the last seven hundred years. One fairly precise definition states that it is the area "...constituting the biogeographic region that includes Asia south and southeast of the Himalayas and the Malay Archipelago west of Wallace's line."
Etymologically, oriental comes from the Latin word for east, just as occidental came from Latin for west, austral from south, and boreal from north.
Asia is the entire continent, so when you use the term Asian, you're including the middle-east, Israel, and possibly India. (This is debatable, because India actually sits on a different tectonic plate--hence the Indian Subcontinent.)
In recent times, roughly the last fifteen years, Oriental has retroactively been declared an offensive or insensitive word amongst some people. In reality, it was historically NOT used in a deliberately offensive manner, and any attempt to take offense is intellectually dishonest.
If someone takes offense at your legitimate use of the word Oriental, challenge them on it. Make them explain why they think it's offensive. Invariably, there is no valid reason other than, "because it IS!"
