I think the base would have to answer the first question. Do they want civilians with rifles on the base? I don't know.

I am pretty sure the answer to number 2 is "no".

Japan does not have a gun culture like we do in the US, and guns are not something people normally have. I know licenses for hunting rifles are available in certain prefectures, but I don't think you can just go target shooting. I heard the Olympic biathletes had to train outside of Japan, because they couldn't shoot their guns in Japan.
