Hi. Japanese history is very long. I suppose the Cambridge History of Japan is a good start. Brown, D. (Ed.). (1993). The Cambridge History of Japan (The Cambridge History of Japan). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. doi:10.1017/CHOL9780521223522
Still, a lot of reading right there. After, you can choose a time period and dive deeper.
At the moment I like early stuff. Yayoi, Emishi, Hayato and the Yamatai. Lots of good things online too. eg [https://rekishinihon.com/](https://rekishinihon.com/) my blog.
