I was hoping to go this year but might have to beg off and ask a friend to get me some things from Japan. Can anyone tell me how much these things would cost in Japan?
Music CD
Keychain
Fan (japanese)
ladies skirt
jeans
bowl of ramen or udon (the kind you can take home and add how water to)
Thanks!

fan = 1000-4000 yen usually
skirt = 2000-5000 yen

Hope you get to come here instead of having a friend shop for you!

The first three can easily be gotten at the nicer 100 Yen Stores..as long as the music you want is not mainstream/modern, but rather more Muzac/elevator music, and the souvenir stuff is of tourist trap quality. if you want a REAL(large, wall size) fan, those run anywhere from Y$2000 to Y$ 50000(US$20-500, depending on size, quality and design). Keychains can be gotten anywhere for under US$10..try the nicer department stores or the Shrines.
Clothing is very expensive in Japan, and the sizing is EXTREMELY different from Western European and American Sizing, I wore a size 6 when I lived there, and I had to by Xlarge clothes, and they still were cut too short, especially the crotch area and the length on tops.
Freeze dried ramen is cheaper if you go into your local oriental grocery and buy it there. it's the same exact stuff. and it's just as nasty as TopRamen and tastes NOTHING like areal hot fresh bowl of Udon....

Music CD : around 3000yen for newest ones ($28)
Keychain : about 300yen - 2000yen ($2-$18)
Japanese Hand Fan : average 1200 yen ($10)
Electric : average 5000 yen ($46)
Ladies Skirt : about 500 yen to 5000 yen plus ($5-$46)
Jeans: average 3000yen ($28)
Bowl of Ramen or Udon : average 200yen ($2)
The look on your friends face when you try to put together a story about you visiting Japan and relating these items:
Priceless ;)
Hope this helps! Have a good day!

Cd's maybe $20, key chain $1 up, fan $1 up, jeans, I would'nt bother, Skirt will vary on what it is,but it won't be cheap. Also pass on noodles, you can buy the exact same thing here. Japanese love American jeans BTW.
