I think before we make any prediction or conclusion about this question. There are many factors to evaluate Japan in terms of its population, georgraphical location, natural resources, human resources, labour costs,technological and scietific capabilities.
As we know China, India, Japan are currently strife hard to intervene each other by the fierce competition of mass and quality production,market, resources, and strategy.There are two supper powers of America and Russia manipulating these three working hard countries and take advantages out of their fruitful results by means of financial systems and man-made conflicts (leads to war in the third party's countries). Japan is an economic giant already. However, it's only a small island with size equivalent to Manitosa of the US. The total population of Japan is far less than China and India and it will hold back the growth of at mass production. Japan is recognized as a country produces good quality products. In contrary (at the present and recent years), India and China are far better in cheap priced products in the markets. Regardless of which way of production, they all generate revenues for the country. China and India is getting better and better in high qulaity products and, probably the Japanese labour cost will slower the Japan to grow big again. It's far cheaper labour cost in China and India. My conclusion is that Japan is going to be big again but not that big as China and India.

Japan is still a "big" economic power in the world.
If you are referring to size (as in, it was larger when it ruled Korea, Southeast Asia, and parts of China in WWII), then I doubt it will ever become that big again. Imperialism in modern times is much more difficult to do, because other powerful nations would be very quick to criticize them and align against them. I definitely don't see Japan gaining any signifcant amount of land anytime soon.

With the aging society and declining population it's going to difficult for Japan to ever get back to the glory days of the late 1980s.
