The difference is Japan was at war with a country, namely the United States of America, with the economic and industrial capability to develop something like the B-29 Superfortress. Germany could not come close to such a feat.

As big of a program as the Manhattan Project was, the development and deployment of the B-29 was even bigger. In fact, the US spent more developing the B-29 than they did developing the atomic bomb.

Like I said above, developing and producing an atomic bomb was only one half of the equation. You also had to develop and produce the delivery system for the bomb to be of any use.
