Regarding the tax issue (whether or not I have to declare anything, or not) I logged into my SBI account, and I see : 特定口座(源泉徴収)/配当受入.
Does this mean any tax liability is taken care of automatically when I sell something?
Yes, for a "tokutei" account (特定口座) Japanese taxes are automatically withheld.
Great! Thanks.

In my experience there is no difference in charges (whether account maintenance fees or trading commissions) for the tokutei vs ippan accounts.
