Japan has very high technology and probably had nuclear weapons for the longest time.
My guess is since before 1980.
Japan officially claim they do not have nuclear weapons.
They mean they did not connect Part A to Part B.

US is aware but in order to offset the China/Russia and North Korea nuclear threat, allows Japan to carry on.
It is a kind of {I don't ask and you don't tell} situation about nuclear weapons in Japan.

Understand the Japanese psyche.
Japanese perceive themselves as the foremost Asian.
It is intolerable for Japan not to have nuclear weapons when Russia, China, India, Pakistan and North Korea have.
(75% of Russian territory lies in Asia continent)

The Fukushima disaster had a nuclear meltdown.
US tried to help and rushed emergency crews to Japan to contain the nuclear accident.
Japan obstinately refused all help from US and disallowed Americans entering the nuclear plant.
There may be some aspects of Japan nuclear industry that it wants to keep Top Secret.

Having a nuclear bomb is one thing, able to drop it at your target is another...

Whether jap got nukes or not is pretty irrelavent. Because the only that will happen is russia and china nuke them to oblivion.

Hundreds of nukes will rain on japan obliterating everything...

If japan try to build missile silos, they will be discovered. Maybe they could have a few missiles hidden, but not enough for anything

They will, provided the nukes are bought from the US of A. At prices equivalent to the impact of "Little Boy" on Japan's defense budget.

While there are currently no known plans in Japan to produce nuclear weapons, it has been argued Japan has the technology, raw materials, and the capital to produce nuclear weapons within one year if necessary, and many analysts consider it a de facto nuclear state for this reason. For this reason Japan is often said to be a "screwdriver's turn"away from possessing nuclear weapons, or to possess a "bomb in the basement".
