I am by no means a historian, but this seems like an interesting idea. I mean, the Japanese essentially woke the bear by attacking pearl harbour. Sure they slowed the U.S. down, but even at a great cost wouldn't invading pearl harbour have been a better strategical move?
So this is actually something that comes up every so foten. You may have interest in previous answers and threads tto.
Suffice to say that if the IJN/IJA had been able to dedicate sufficient resources to the task, and thats a big if on the logistics front its a pointless diversion in the end for the goals of Japan's going to war. It would have meant abandoning altogether the entire reason for the attack to begin with. That being to gain time and operational freedom to drive into the resource rich East Indies. Invading, holding, and supplying the island of even Oahu alone would have depleted badly the Japanese merchant marine already straining and undersized trying to both keep the economy going and meet naval shipping needs. While the islands would have become a non self sufficient resource pit, too far to be supported by other island bases save Midway that would have required invasion, and in a terribly exposed position to USN counterattacks at their pleasure.
