We report radial-velocity search for short-period planets in the Pleiades open cluster. We observed 30 Pleiades member stars at the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory (OAO) with High Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (HIDES). To evaluate and mitigate the effects of stellar activity on radial-velocity measurements, we computed four activity indicators (FWHM, $V_{rm span}$, $W_{rm span}$ and $S_{rm H{alpha}}$). Among our sample, no short-period planet candidates were detected. Stellar intrinsic RV jitter was estimated to be ${rm 52 m,s^{-1}}$, ${rm 128 m,s^{-1}}$ and ${rm 173 m,s^{-1}}$ for stars with $vsin i$ of ${rm 10 km,s^{-1}}$, ${rm 15 km,s^{-1}}$ and ${rm 20 km,s^{-1}}$, respectively. We determined the planet occurrence rate from our survey and set the upper limit to 11.4% for the planets with masses 1--13 $M_{rm JUP}$ and period 1--10 days. To set a more stringent constraint on the planet occurrence rate, we combined the result of our survey with those of other surveys targeting open clusters with ages between 30--300 Myr. As a result, the planet occurrence rate in young open clusters was found to be less than 7.4%, 2.9% and 1.9% for the planets with an orbital period of three days and masses between 1--5, 5--13, and 13--80 $M_{rm JUP}$, respectively.
