taxes, non resident resident

We have just moved here from Hong Kong and I have registered as an alien and got the ARC etc (spouse visa) - I am a British national with a JP wife
However, I am still employed by my HK company and will continue to be paid by them at least up until next year. So my question is, tax? I will be living here and working but not for a JP company (we have an office in Tokyo that I'm working out of) so am I liable to pay any tax (especially income tax as I'll already be taxed back in HK) I assume residential taxes etc will apply because of the house etc.
No money will pass from the JP office to me, it'll all be paid by HK and into a HK bank, so I think technically as a non permanent resident it should be excluded from any income?
Any ideas?

Surely your workplace accountant should know? if Japan and Hong Kong have a special agreement you should only be taxed in one place. If not you may pay twice then ask for refund. have a look at this site I found on google,at the bottom it talk about expatriates (workers in one country working for a company in another): http://www2.gol.com/users/jpc/Japan/taxes.htm
