In Tokyo, 200,000 yen is not expensive. Some of the prices are really high. Most places in Tokyo are small too, unless you are rich. People who come from America or the UK are often shocked by how small the apartments in Japan are for the price. Even if you find one with a price that is similar to Western cities, usually the place is much smaller.
Food can be expensive too, like you said.
If you want to live cheap in Tokyo, you should have a plan and a budget in advance.
