Voicevox is a Japanese neural TTS engine. The front end of it is an electron app, but it has a back end core that can be integrated into other applications.
Piper currently doesn't have any Japanese voices available for use, but Voicevox has many, and the quality is pretty good. We don't have a lot of Japanese voices available for screen readers right now, or at least, not many that can be accessed easily. It'd be great to have access to more. I'll have links for the main Voicevox repository, as well as the Voicevox Core below, though keep in mind the readme is in Japanese and you'll need access to a translator for it.
