"Foreign Tax Credit (FTC)
US expats can use the Foreign Tax Credit in Japan (or any other non-US country, for that matter) to greatly reduce their tax liability. The FTC allows you to essentially subtract what you’ve paid in taxes to a foreign government from what you owe the US government, as long as the taxes are income-based, made out to you specifically, legal, and paid.
Since income taxes tend to be higher in Japan, you may very well end up owing nothing at all to the IRS, or even getting credits that you can apply toward future tax payments.

Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE)
The FEIE allows you to exclude a certain amount of your earned income from taxation. For tax year 2022 (aka the taxes you’ll file in 2023), the FEIE limit is $112,000. For tax year 2023 (aka the taxes you’ll pay in 2024), the FEIE limit will be $120,000"
