Do I have to deal with taxation in Japan if I go as a tourist and work remotely for my company? Is it allowed at all?

I would like to go to Japan to visit the country and practice the language (eventually get N4), I am a 32yo Italian citizen which lives and works in Sweden.

So my taxation residency is in Sweden, my bank account is Swedish and my passport is Italian.

What I would love to do is to be in Japan for 5-6 months, overall less than 180 days.

Would I be able to keep working remotely for my company?

Would the fact that I have saved 40 days of paid leave that I could use during in the 6 months period help with any taxation or permission?

During such a period, would I keep my taxation residency in Sweden or am I supposed to pay taxes in Japan?

​

For the sake of completeness: I know I could just use the 40 days to have an almost 2 months long vacation in Japan, but I’d like to have a longer chance to practice and experience actual life there, together with a much more extended language/cultural opportunity.

I looked online for this but information is still confusing to me, so thanks in advance to everyone willing to help me
