Can I work remotely on a tourist visa in Japan?

Tourist visas are technically for tourism. Many digital nomads work remotely since they don't earn local income. Check local policies.

Do I need to pay taxes in Japan?

Tax obligations depend on duration of stay, visa type, and tax treaties. Generally under 183 days without local employment means no local taxes, but consult a professional.
