“How to bargain successfully in Japan”
You will succeed at bargain in Japan by careful preparation and confidence attitude. There are many markets in Japan. Some markets have fix price, or some markets do not have fix price. You can negotiate the price with a sales person in the latter markets. For a start, you should decide what you want to buy, because it affects where you go in Japan.

For example, if you want to buy fish, you will go to Tsukiji in Tokyo. If you want to buy PC or digital camera, you will go to Akihabara in Tokyo. If you want to buy jewel, you will go to Okachimachi in Tokyo. Next, you should decide how much you want to buy them and write down a list of all what you want to buy. You will prevent forgetting to buy something by doing this. At night before going to market, you should check how to get there and get a map of the market, because the Tokyo subway is complex. Also, you should sleep early. If you want to buy fish, you will get up at 7 o’clock. In the morning, you should go to the market with the list and the map. During the market, you should find something to want to buy them by some stores, because some stores sell same things. You should look for the cheapest store of all them. After finding a store, you should negotiate the price whose you want to buy. It is important for you to negotiate with confidence. Negotiating the price starts from half of your decided price. Then, you should gradually raise your price. The sales person possibly gets the price down. After that, when he says the price under your decided price, you will buy it. Finally, you should say thank you to him and go out the store snappily. Now you can become a professional of bargaining in Japan!
