If I remember my history right, Japan would've surrendered conditionally without the bombs and that was only after bleeding the allies and soviets a bit. The condition here was Japan gets to keep the pacific holdings that weren't already liberated. It doesn't take a genius to see why that was unacceptable.

They would also still be an authoritarian imperialist state and probably would've never produced some of their most culturally relevant pieces of art from the 20th century.
