it depends.

If your native language is English/Spanish/German/etc it will take you a lot longer than if your native language is Chinese or Korean.

The State Dept's Foreign Service Institute says it will take a native English speaker more than 2200 classroom hours, to acheive profiency in Japanese. (and half of those hours are done in Japan if you're in their program)

Are you linguistically inclined? Some people learn languages easily, others don't.

Are you good at memorization? Japanese requires a lot of memorization if you want to achieve fluency in reading/writing.

And, if you're good at picking up patterns, that will be a huge help in Japanese.
