Excuse me, my balance is insufficient. Could I charge it with just 1,000 yen?

はい、だいじょうぶですよ。せんえんさつをこちらにいれてください。
Yes, that's fine. Please insert the 1,000 yen bill here.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold your IC card and a 1,000 yen bill in your hand visibly while talking to the driver.
Do not attempt to charge with large denomination bills (such as 5,000 or 10,000 yen) on buses, as card machines usually only accept 1,000 yen bills.
