I’m thinking of going for some months to Japan, let’s say between three and five. My idea is to keep on working online, as I’m doing right now. I’m 29 and my Japanese level it’s quite basic at the moment.
I’m thinking of applying for a Working Holiday Visa\*
My intention it’s to have the experience of living there and to fully immerse in the culture (as much as possible), and for that reason I am considering to do a homestay program. But here’s my doubt: do you know any reliable company? I’ve checked homestay website and also “home stay in Japan” but I asked for information and my mails got no response.
Anyone who has done this experience in the past and can tell me about it?
Any advice it’s welcomed, thank you!

Under which visa? I’m just assuming here but it looks like you’re looking to go through with this plan with a Tourist visa.
Working on a Tourist visa is illegal, regardless of if the job is remote or not.

Under what status of residence do you intend to reside in Japan?
-edit- I see you’ve clarified that this would be part of a working holiday.
In that case I’d suggest checking out WWOOF – https://www.wwoofjapan.com/home/index.php?lang=en
