Hello Rony Francis,
To ask in Japanese “How much this costs, please?”, you can say:
" Kore wa ikura desu ka. "
kore = "this"
wa = topic marker (is placed here after the name “kore” to let understand that we
are speaking about “this”)
ikura = "how much"
desu = "is"
ka = question marker
And if you need to learn other sentences that could help you during your stay in Japan, try to have a look to those links:

Note that if you ask your question in Japanese, the answer will be also in Japanese !
I wish you a nice stay in Japan.
