As long as you can get a work visa with that job, you’re good to go. At the very least you probably can get a similar remote job by a japanese company and get the visa.
There will be a gift tax on the house, and land tax, but where you’re trying to go, the land tax will be very low, and the free house will be valued at 0 and therefore have 0 property tax. Houses don’t appreciate in value in Japan, so you’ll never have to pay property tax on that house even if you fix it up, and as long as you don’t tear it down, the land tax will also stay low.
