As far as I know, Japan never tried to build an atomic bomb, instead its super weapon was Super submarines, able to carry planes and operate bombing operations on US Coast. All of the modern submarines are based on Japan super sub with twin hull system. I also heard that Japan had a plan to load these super submarines with some kind biologic super bomb (kinda A-Bomb).

This journey is covered in the book "The Secret Diary of a U-Boat" by Wolfgang Hirschfeld. There are also some notes in the back of the book too about what the supposed plan was and how concerned the US were.
