Bargaining at Ameyokocho

Hi friends,
Gd day. i will be going to Japan next week and would like to seek your advise. I intend to visit Ameyokocho and but some stuus such as souvenirs. Can anyone advice whether I can bargain or is it fixed price? If bargaining is possible, how much can I lower in terms of percent? Thanks

Regards
Peter

You can and I do often if you buy an expensive item or two or more items. Just ask politely but do not nickel & dime. Say "benkyo shite kudasai", meaning study hard.

Say "benkyo shite kudasai", meaning study hard.

Does that have some idiomatic meaning when you're bargaining, or do you mean the original poster should study his prices beforehand?

To ...,
"Benkyo shimasu" is a colloquial expression meaning "I will give you a discount." So "benkyo shite kudasai" means "Please give me a discount."

At most shops in Ameyoko, they offer goods at pretty good prices already, and I feel that haggling is not appreciated. Of course, if they offer you something at a per piece/package price, and if you say "OK, if I buy 10, what's your best offer?" kind of thing, you might get some discount, though.
