How pensions work for a French person working in Japan

Question

After working for 4 years in France, I have been working for 6 years already in Japan (both as a full-time employee).

How do pensions work in that case?
Do years in France and years in Japan get counted automatically, or do I have to do something special?

According to above article, if you paid pension in both countries they will be added together.

As for his question, no, they will probably not added together automatically. You have to apply for it. Here are a bunch of documents available in PDF format for download: nenkin.go.jp/n/www/agreement/detail.jsp?id=1021 I think the easiest way is to give Embassy of France a call and ask them directly.
