I plan to travel during my 10 day visit and don't want to offend local customs or feel uncomfortable myself by being inappropriately dressed. I have had no problems anywhere else in the world, and imagine my friend ( a native Japanese woman) may be wrong.
Any thoughts/advice?

I think kilts are rare outside of the UK... you would get questionable stares in the US, for sure.
Some will understand, some will think it is a skirt. I don't think anyone will be offended, but you might get some questions that will be fun to answer.
