i speak japanese fluently.
Akıcı bir şekilde Japonca konuşuyorum


Explanation:
or, "Akıcı bir şekilde Japonca konuşurum." This one is simple present tense. But if you are indicating strongly that you speak Japanese than I, personally, would recommend the first one. But, lets see what the others are saying / commenting.
Good luck

i speak japanese fluently.
Japonca'yı sorunsuz konuşabiliyorum.


Explanation:
The first two answers from our friends are perfectly fine, but if you are not dealing with some kind of formal document (such as a CV), you might be interested in using a more colloquial expression, like:

"İyi derecede Japonca bilir ve konuşurum."
or
"Japonca'yı takılmadan, sorunsuz konuşabiliyorum"
