Japan was historically difficult to conquer. Being an Island nation meant that invaders would have to move their soldiers in by ship. That in and of itself is extremely limiting especially since the other nations in the area (China and Korea mostly) were used to having large scale battle on dry ground and not landing on someone else's island and invading like that, it completely changes the tactics. What's more is not only do they have to brave the seas but they also have to get past Japans Navy, which was a force to be reckoned with, as can be expected of an island nation. Then the enemy troops that made it through that (if any managed to pull that off) would have to combat the Japanese army which had been well trained due to the conflict between the warring leaders in Japan. That's why Japan is called the unconquerable nation. I'm pretty sure no one actually pulled it off till the U.S. nuked them in WW2 and the reason why the resorted to using the atomic bomb instead of a conventional invasion was because of the exact reason I just described. That and zombie samurai.
