selling/exercising stock option provided (in US) from Japan

Hello everyone!
I received some stock option from my previous (publicly traded) company, half are restricted stock I will sell, the other half are stock options I will exercise. In this case, how and to whom would I need to declare these & pay taxes on? I am a British citizen living in Japan, planning to send the money via wire to my Japanese bank's USD account. I'm a little unclear on what I need to do where.
Edit: It appears residency might matter – I've been living in Japan for the last 5 years, plus about another 10 before that but I left for 18 months inbetween
