My landlord is jacking up my rent

Hello everyone!
So, I started the year in a kind of rough spot health wise. During this time, my landlord sent a notice of increasing my rent from 72k¥ to 78k¥. At the time, I didn’t know what to do so I just accepted.

The next month I got a notice about lease renewal which would result in a one-time 160k¥ payment. I just assumed this was what to be expected and let it happen back in April 30th.

This month however, I got a notice about the rent being taken from my ac being about 96k¥…. This isn’t what I agreed on at all and my economy is in shambles because of this.

My salary is pretty rough (it’s just barely over the base one), despite living as frugally as I can all year I’ve basically lived paycheck to paycheck due to these bills.
I heard that you can get a lawyer to help you settle these things… but I am the absolute worst at bureaucracy. If anyone has anyone has any suggestions of good lawyers (yokohama/tokyo) or suggestions of what to do I would be eternally grateful!!
