I know how to ask how much something is but I'm unsure what the best approach is if they reply with a number in japanese as I won't be able to understand the response. I will try to learn the number system before I go but I've got a week so I may not manage to. Is it ok to ask the shop person to write down the value or type it in a calculator or something? What's the best approach to this so as not to be a rude tourist (other than being able to understand the response of course)
