Building an army that was good enough to protect the country would take time.
Even if the U.S were to pull out they'd have to stay there for some time to make sure Japan was completely ready for them to leave.
Also. These factors completely slipped my mind but they're very important.
Fighting and Korea dominating has ceased because the U.S is breathing down their backs.

Japan is a key strategic point in the Pacific rim in order to keep the North Pacific stable. The Japanese understand the seriousness of their position, if they didn't they wouldn't have allowed the USS Washington to be based in Yokosuka.
