Question about health insurance/pension while ‘unemployed’

Hi,

My ALT contract ended March 22nd, and I am planning on staying in Japan until May 5 to travel.

While I’m here, will I be required to pay pension and health insurance? Will it just be billed to my house?

Or, can I inform immigration I’d like to switch to a tourist visa and stay for ~ 6 weeks on a tourist visa? If I did this, would I need to pay pension/insurance etc?

Thank you!
