Hirohito gains absolute power over militarist, how early does war ends.

Despite the common cliche about the emperor Hirohito being batshit insane and wanting to continue the war even though it was futile, it turns out he was a moderate all along.

You can find out more by googling Kyujo incident and there are a couple of stuff out there online about Hirohito's arguments with militarists about the course of the war before the atom bombs were dropped as well as an assassination attempt and other coercion.

So assuming Hirohito actually does have absolute power as many Westerners assumed, does this mean no Hiroshima? What is the earliest that Japan could have surrendered?

The Kyujo incident took place after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so unless this means he developed time travel, nothing can be done about that.

When/what exactly is the point of departure here?
When does Hirohito assume this measure of absolute control?

Because the way your OP is worded, it seems like there is no change.
