trans and moving to a school in osaka

hey there, so i never really use reddit if im being honest so i hope i'm putting this in the right place (i think i'll put this on an adjacent trans subreddit too, again i'm really sorry if this is the wrong place!). i guess regardless this is kind of niche and im unsure if it wouldve been better to put this on any trans subreddits but i'm going to HAJL (human academy jp language school) in osaka next year in january. obviously i understand the importance that comes with using my birth name in all my legal documents etc, but is there any way to let the people i'm talking to know? i'm not sure if it would be okay, the recruiter i've been talking to from the school is really kind but i also don't really know if it's any of his business to concern him with and i don't want to hassle him with something he can't help with. i'm just worried for if there's any school ID type stuff or school register i could change my name on. again also, i'm not too well informed on how queerness is received in the country, so i'm just wondering the best way to go about this if any at all?

also, does anybody know of any clinics in osaka that are good with trans healthcare? i've been on testosterone for a while, and i'm looking to be able to switch when i move in january, so i'm hoping there's not too much hassle there.
