If you are living in Tokyo and Kanto area and able to send or hand by cash, 5,000 Yen for moderate friends(class mates etc), 10,000 Yen for best friends. If you are in Kansai, 3,000 Yen for moderate friends and 5,000 or 10,000 Yen for best friends.
If you are living in overseas, you can send flower or food gift(baked cake or biscuits) later with funeral sympathy message.
