Monetary stimulus is a different thing than fiscal stimulus. At some point it risks inflation, and eventually stagflation, but I wouldn't say Japan (or the US) is at that point. One thing about monetary policy is that what is stimulus, what is just looser money, and what is tight money, isn't always straight forward. Changes in the supply of money are loose or tight relative to the demand and velocity of money, not directly and simply loose or tight themselves. That's one of the reasons monetary policy can get screwed up and either cause unintentional recessions or inflation.
