Japan offers a mix of modern cities, temples and countryside. This page explains which power plugs, sockets, voltage and frequency you will find there.

There, the main plug types A and B are used and the standard supply is 100 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.

Tip Japan uses flat two‑pin plugs and a lower voltage than many other regions. Most modern chargers work fine, but some single‑voltage hair dryers or kettles may perform weakly.
