Prescription medications while in Japan

Hey all, I'm a 27 year old Canadian and I'm considering going to Japan under the working holiday visa. The main thing I wanna know about are prescription medications while over there, as there are some I am prescribed for my ulcerative colitis and PSC. I'm wondering if it would be possible to get prescriptions for them while in Japan, and if I'd need to pay for them or if there's some kind of insurance that could cover it. The main medications I've been prescribed by my GI are Rinvoq, Ursodiol, Methotrexate, and folic acid. Any help is appreciated, even just pointing to other sources that may have the answer.
