German-Like Occupation of Japan

Question inspired by this thread.

How can we get an occupation of Japan that more closely resembles the occupation of Germany after WWII?

It's often been noted that the Japanese have not confronted their wartime history to nearly the same degree as Germany, and certainly the Japanese as a whole don't appear to be aware of the violence done by Japanese forces against civilians, prisoners, etc.

What does it take to change the occupation of Japan then, such that confrontation of the war and its atrocities occurs and makes a deep cultural impression?

What would such an occupation look like, and what would happen to Japanese culture and society?

Japan fights on after the nukes and has to be forcibly occupied.

Sorry for not answering your other questions, but that would be a way to get that senario happening.
 
Has nothing to do with the kind of occupation.
The German code of civil law and ancient tradition never covered what the Nazis had done. Thus, once the spell was over, the Germans returned to their ancient values (Adenauer was a man of the old empire, not a messenger of the new democracy) - and were ashamed...
The Japanese never had done anything wrong. They had just dealed out what the lower races deserved.
