Travel Tips for Japan

Voltage Compatibility: Japan uses 100V voltage. This is lower voltage. Devices from 220-240V countries will need a voltage converter unless they support dual voltage (100-240V).

Adapter Needed: You'll need a Type A or Type B adapter to plug in your devices if your plugs don't match these types.

Frequency: The electrical frequency is 50Hz/60Hz. Most electronics can handle both 50Hz and 60Hz, but some clocks and motors may run differently.
