That happened to us in Kyoto, it wasn’t the double but a bit more than normal price. We noticed in Osaka as well

First time learning this. I always thought Japan was the most transparent when it comes to pricing.

I've seen that in Egypt. One side in English and one side Arabic with different prices. I'm foreign but ordered in Arabic and pointed to lower prices

Happened to me at a MAJOR karaoke chain in Japan. They gave me the English price lists at the front desk when I clearly could read the Japanese info.

Same in Nepal. If you order Momos, you get 5 pieces instead of 10 and they charge you double
