Bogu for a Beginer...how much?

[Kansai Ronin]

Just a quick question to all,
How much would you expect to pay for the complete set of basic gear for an adult just starting out?

In japanese yen would be preferable..

Cheers in advance

On the order of 100,000 yen list price, but most companies are offering discounts these days.

I paid around $700 USD (~82600 yen) for my first kit (2 shinai, keikogi, hakama, bogu, bogu bukkoro, shinai bukkoro, bokken). But it was all cheap goods from e-bogu. You'll probably pay a bit more if you're going through a Japanese boguya-san. Just recently I paid 68000 yen for a new men in Kyoto.

Edit: But you can find deals if you really look. I also picked up a pair of kote for around $70 US.
