Not in a strict literal sense. Japan was occupied by the United States militarily after WWII until the enactment of the San Francisco Peace Treaty in 1952. The occupying forces did make many changes in Japan, including rewriting the constitution to renounce war, but this was not strictly an occupation. Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler of China, tried twice to invade Japan in 1274 and 1281, but both times his fleet was destroyed by a combination of bad luck, poor planning and bad weather. Both fleets were struck by powerful typhoon before they could establish a beachhead.

Japan was never officially colonized by any nation. However, after World War II, Japan signed an "unconditional" surrender to MacArthur and the United States army, setting in motion the occupation of Japan for the next few years. During this occupation, though, many things about Japan were changed, including the rewriting of the Japanese constitution.

Japan was never a colony, and was never conquered; until two Atom Bombs were used.
