Taxation as a permanent resident

I saw a post on Japan Life regarding a retiree trying to determine what income he’d be taxed on as a permanent resident in Japan.
I spent time in Japan as a student and I’ve been considering returning to try and work. But before I do that I would like to know what I’d be getting into as a US citizen living and working in Japan.
The post I saw said that I’d be taxed in the US and Japan but that on the Japan taxes I might be able to get a break, but the post I saw didn’t elaborate on said breaks.
I’d appreciate it if someone could break it down for me as a layman.
Thanks!

  1. Can’t tell you much but when your parents pass away you’ll have to pay inheritance taxes if you receive over a certain amount of money from them.
