What happens with citizenship if a foreigner marries a Japanese woman do the couple then have to choose what country to be citizens of? or do you get some sort of like.. citizenship to both countries? Can you go and work in both countries?..

They both keep their prior citizenships. Nothing happens in the citizenship department at all. You will be able to get a spousal visa granting
residency in Japan (and the other way applies to her - she would most likely be eligible for residency in your country.)
You`re still going to need that visa, just as she is still going to need a visa to live outside Japan.
It will make it easier to apply for and receive citizenship in Japan (for you) or elsewhere (for her) - but absolutely nothing happens automatically.
