My B-2 visa is about to expire, do I have to apply for it when I am in Japan ？
or can I do it in Honolulu ？ I overstayed once in the past
and I can't use Esta so I got a B-2 visa. In this case, do I have to start all over again
or can I get an extension online ？?

USCIS page translation. Original text is at https://www.uscis.gov/visit-the-united-states/extend-your-stay
There is an online application button at the top of the links page.

If you wish to extend your stay in the U.S., you must file a request with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services （ USCIS ） on Form I-539, Application for Extension/Change of Nonimmigrant Status, before your authorized stay expires. If you remain in the U.S. longer than permitted, you may be barred from returning home or deported （ from the U.S. ）. Check the Arrival-Departure Record date in the lower right corner of Form I-94 to determine the date your authorized stay expires. It is recommended that you apply for an extension of stay at least 45 days before your authorized stay expires.

You may apply for an extension of stay if.

You entered the U.S. legally on a nonimmigrant visa
Your nonimmigrant visa status remains valid
You have no criminal offense that would disqualify you from visa status.
I have not violated any conditions of admission
My passport is valid and will remain valid for the duration of my stay
You are not eligible to apply for an extension of stay if you entered the U.S. under one of the following categories

Visa Waiver Program
Crew （ D Nonimmigrant Visa ）
Transiting the United States （ C Nonimmigrant Visa ）
Transiting the United States without visa （ TWOV ）
Fiancée or Dependent of a U.S. Citizen （ K Nonimmigrant Visa ）
Informant on Terrorism or Organized Crime （ and accompanying family ） （ S Nonimmigrant Visa ）
For application instructions, see How Do I ： GuidesforNonimmigrants".

Thank you very much, Pacifism.
Since my B-2 visa will expire next year for 10 years, is it possible to extend it for another 10 years before it expires, either in the US or in Japan ？?

The I-539 can be used to extend the I-94 or change the status of a nonimmigrant visa （ e.g. from B-2 tourist visa to F-1 student visa ）.

By the way, I-94 is a document that determines the period of stay in the US.

The visa stamp on your passport must be done at a US embassy outside the US.

In my personal opinion, I think it is safe to consult an immigration attorney early if you are going to file an I-539.
