> My first thought was to work remotely and use the 90 days permitted by the tourist visa. Yet working in Japan on this visa is a gray zone at best and a practice I would stay away from. In fact, the US Embassy in Japan strictly advises against this:
> Persons found working illegally are subject to arrest and deportation.
> Persons believed to be entering Japan without a working visa but who intend to work here can be denied entry into Japan. This means that you will not exit the airport and will be required to return directly to the U.S.
Did more quick reading, Nomad visa gives you 6 month(tourist is 90 days), as long as you don't take local jobs you're fine, and there is no need to pay tax to Japan as well. now it seems just like a visa double the duration of tourist visa to me.
