Moving to Japan and living off my disability payments?

Currently, my wife and I are contemplating leaving our current home and moving to Osaka. This summer is our “test run” as our child will be attending the local elementary school during the summer to see how she deals with a new environment.

We currently live in Hawaii.

My disability payments are around 4300 USD per month tax free. I am a 30 year old IT professional with certifications and a cyber security degree along with my MBA from a T25 school.

My Japanese proficiency isn’t great but I have lived in Japan (Tokyo) in the past and have visited Osaka no less than 20-30 times in the past 8 years.

Would it be viable for me to live off my 4300 USD a month or should I look into taking a part time gig there as well? I am open to full time work but I’d rather have one less stressor if possible.

Any advice would be appreciated.
