He didn't have enough time to do it - invasion plans had already been dressed up - but first of all, regions like France, Belgium, etc. were conquered. Germany lost the Battle of Britain and turned directly upon Russia... it was easy going... they expected a fast victory... Hitler is cited with his remark "... we will hunt little Switzerland, when we are returning home..." - but they didn't return as they had expected.
On the other hand a first-strike easy going short-term invasion of Switzerland just in the first days of war wasn't possible, as Swiss army moved up the border with several hundreds of thousands soldiers - the main clashes between both sides were air-to-air combats over Swiss territory... with some surprising outcome for mighty German Luftwaffe. Bridges and tunnels in Switzerland connecting fachist Italy with nazi Germany were charged with explosive, letting the public know that they would blow everything up before the German Wehrmacht would get in (and German Pioneers were stoped just before reaching Swiss airfields). Switzerland was declared neutral - with the most famous free radio station in Europe besides the BBC. But this could also be an advantage for allies and axis - spies could walk freely. And industrial or militar business was interesting... Swiss industry has been blamed after the war to have sold products to the axis (and allies). Last thing I will mention is the "Reduced Switzerland" defence plan - assuming a withdraw of the firepower into the Alps and letting the invasiors take the flat areas easily... but not getting into montanious territory without beeing hurt. All this might have helped to deturn an early German invasion when war started... but it wouldn't have cancelled Hitler's plan if Germany had won in Russia... what they never did.
Switzerland was very well defended and also not at all hostile to Germany. It would have been a significant effort for little payoff, for Germany.
Italy couldn't even handle fighting in Africa, or the Balkans, or France, so I guess Mussolini was smart enough not to start another failed invasion.
Japan was on the other side of the world at the time.

Why was Switzerland not invaded by Germany?
Switzerland has always been politically neutral and does not take sides in foreign wars.AnswerActually Hitler did have plans in his drawer for the attack on Switzerland. But Hitler's attitude towards attacking Switzerland was "we'll pick up Switzerland on our way back." Also, Switzerland warned the Germans that if they were to attack them, they will blow up the railway connecting Italy and Germany, making it harder for them to communicate. In exchange, Switzerland granted Germany the right to enter and leave Switzerland without being questioned.
