That's more like; ずっと、日本に来たいと思っていたんです。

You can't put 〜たい and ました because it doesn't make sense. たい doesn't act a verb and has it's own conjugation. You should also use 来るif you are IN Japan, because you can't 'go' somewhere if you're already there, or else use a verb like 'visit' or 'travel in' etc.
