So if you are right, it is even worse than I thought. The GOJ will try to tax me for ten years, though I am living abroad, and my inheritance will come from somebody else living abroad?
No. This ten year rule only applies to Japanese who move abroad. It won’t apply to you.

OK, got it. Thanks.
But just for curiosity's sake, how can they find out that a Japanese citizen living abroad for, say, 9 years, and not planning on returning, had an inheritance from, say, a foreign national spouse? Does the GOJ have access to all the bank accounts of all their citizens living abroad, even permanent residence of other countries?
