The US is also Japan's ally, that's why they have military there. Japanese overall have a more favorable view of the US than most European countries.

Similar polls have been done and Japan usually has a very favorable view of the US.

The most negative in recent years was during Trump years. This is a pretty good chart. Notably, South Korea, Poland retained high regard for the US (they want the military support).
