How it's used

V-る + ようになる describes a transition — something that was not true before becoming true, often a new ability or habit. Coming to Japan naturally brought about the change of being able to eat nattō, so ようになった fits. ことにした would assert a deliberate resolution instead of a change, ところだった suggests it almost happened but didn't, and わけになった is not the change-of-state pattern.
