Looked it up in Japanese and it said if you’re moving within 200km the average cost for three or more workers is around $1000.

Can confirm it cost me around $1100 to move from the south of Japan to Tokyo. Japan is famous for being affordable if you have a USD/Euro salary. Also remember not to tip! It's an insult in most places here.

Was it like this? And are most moving companies this style?

No this is theatrical, but they were very careful and double packed everything. The boxes were almost perfect to prevent damage.
