Katana are not cheap - especially not ones made by a dedicated swordsmith.

For an idea of pricing, look here.

There is a shop in Akasaka on Sakura-dori about 20 minutes from the palace. There is also a shop in Asakusa that has a few live swords for sale. The prices start at about $2000 USD, a decent sword will run $4500 to $8000.
