Moving to Japan with a medical condition

Hi everyone, I've been considering moving to Japan for work but have been hesitant because I have a congenital heart condition and am unsure how easy or difficult it is to acquire the same prescriptions as I currently do in the UK. I have searched on https://www.rad-ar.or.jp/siori/english/, and have found the same medications I use, but I am still unsure on a few points. My questions, other considerations such as language/job search aside because that's another matter entirely, are:

  1. Are there drugs listed on the website that are only available in larger cities?
  2. Is the process of transferring one's presciption difficult or even a thing?

If anyone can provide some insight it is greatly appreciated.
