Japan had been an ally of the United Kingdom since the Anglo-Japanese Alliance of 1902. That alliance had been renewed in 1905, following the Treaty of Portsmouth that formally ended the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05, and again in 1911.
The impact of the alliance was that it facilitated Japan's entry into the war on the side of the allies (although the treaty did not actually require Japan to do so). This is discussed in Chapter 3 of The Anglo-Japanese Alliance by Alfred L.P. Dennis.
The sequence of events is clearly explained in the Wikipedia article Japan during World War I:
In the first week of World War I Japan proposed to the United Kingdom, its ally since 1902, that Japan would enter the war if it could take Germany's Pacific territories.4 On 7 August 1914, the British government officially asked Japan for assistance in destroying the raiders from the Imperial German Navy in and around Chinese waters. Japan sent Germany an ultimatum on 23 August 1914, which went unanswered; Japan then formally declared war on Germany on 23 August 1914 in the name of the Emperor Taishō.
As the article goes on to explain:
As Vienna refused to withdraw the Austro-Hungarian cruiser SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth from Qingdao, Japan declared war on Austria-Hungary, too, on 25 August 1914.
Essentially, Japan hoped to extend its sphere of influence in the Pacific. In a sense, this can be thought of as a continuation of Imperial Japanese policy in the region that had led to the Russo-Japanese War a decade earlier.
