Looking for advice on pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science in Japan (or possibly Germany). How many universities offer a graduate degree in CS specifically?

I've currently just begun my 3rd year in computer science and engineering (Bachelor's) in India to eventually pursue a career in the Game Development industry. Now that my time in college has reached its halfway point, I have begun searching for universities abroad to get my master's degree. I've decided not to go anywhere near the Americas or Australia because of how expensive it is, so I've narrowed down my options to basically just Japan (and possibly Germany).

How many universities offer a graduate degree in CS specifically? Because I've done some gandering of my own and basically found only 2 or 3 universities in Japan that offer a "proper" CS program while everywhere else it just has something to do with "Informatics" or "Information Science" , more in the ballpark of IT instead of CS from what i understood; although I still do genuinely need y'all's help with finding more universities that offer CS if they do exist.

The reason why I put Japan on the top of my list is because of how it plays a major role in the gamedev industry and secondly because of the exponentially lower overall costs. Is it worth studying there? If not, how would that compare to Germany since I have that as my backup.

[P.S. Regardless of where I go, I wish to work in the industry there for at least a few years and ultimately move to the USA to advance my career as a gamedev and possibly settle there as well. (If it's in Japan then I'd be working in a 'foreign' company or startup because I'm well aware of the absurd work culture that local companies have.)]

(Edit: Forgot to mention that I've already begun studying Japanese so if your response has anything to do with the language please just assume that I've learnt it to at least N4 by then.)
