I think I responded to this long ago, but my response seems to have disappeared.
Japan is an absolutely terrible place for anyone with a disability of any sort. Japanese with disabilities (those needing crutches or wheelchairs or who are blind or retarded) are pretty much hidden at home. Children are encouraged to make fun of anyone who is different.
And $900 per month is not even close to enough to live on. I don't think you would be eligible for the national health insurance, and even if you were, they raise the premiums if you use the services a lot.
For anyone else contemplating this, it is a very, very bad idea.
