Do you haggle in Japan?

A: In general, most shops won't haggle about prices. At any big name shop, at best, they have a price-matching system. In the smaller, privately owned shops you will occasionally find places willing to make a deal. If something is a bit too pricey it doesn't hurt to ask, but generally, expect to pay what's marked.


Are jeans OK in Japan?

Shorts, jeans, and camisoles are perfectly fine to wear as long as you don't plan on attending religious sites. While denim isn't a popular fashion choice for those beyond their teen years, black jeans are more acceptable due to their versatile nature.


Is $1000 dollars enough for a week in Japan?

That's certainly a comfortable budget as long as you aren't expecting to eat many fancy meals or do a lot of drinking or clubbing. You can probably save some money with strategic use of transit passes (see summaries on Japan Guide or elsewhere). You should look into the Grutto Pass.
