Best Answer

Japan's only invasion of American soil during World War II occurred on the islands of Attu and Kiska on the Aleutian Chain of Alaska. Aside from that, the island of Adak was attacked by air as was, of course, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

The United States attacked Japan in retaliation to Pearl Harbor. After fighting, the US was in a position to invade Japan and soon after dropped a bomb to make Japan surrender.
