From what I understand you get a defacto extension of your current visa until your new visa is approved (by way of a stamp in your passport when you turn in your paperwork). Just make sure you submit the paperwork before your current visa expires.

FYI, I am in a similar situation (changing from a work to spouse visa) and submitted my papers to the immigration office today. My current visa expires tomorrow, but the immigration officer said that I can continue on in Japan until my new visa is approved.

You should call your local immigration office to double check.
