Let's split the bill today. How much is my share?

Romaji: Kyou wa warikan ni shimashou. Watashi no bun wa ikura desu ka? / Reply Romaji: Etto, hitori ¥2,500 desu.

Gesture & etiquette

Reach for your wallet as you say this — the gesture confirms your genuine intention to pay your share. In group settings, cash payment is still very common in Japan even in the app-payment era.

Warikan (splitting the bill equally) is common among friends and younger colleagues in Japan. However, in formal or seniority-sensitive settings, the senior person often insists on paying — reading the situation before suggesting warikan is important.
