The problem is that the Japanese might not be able to make it there. It's impossible for them to go straight across the Pacific; they'd never make it. The could possibly go up to Kamchatka, 58 miles to officially get to North America, and hug the coast until they get to Oregon. I would suggest looking at other althists for advice, http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/index.php is the best place to check.
