NOTE: Power outlets in Japan are typically Type A with no ground pin, operating at 100 V and 50 Hz (in eastern Japan, e.g., Tokyo, Sapporo) or 60 Hz (in Western Japan, e.g., Kyoto, Osaka). If you have a grounded device, you will need a 3-to-2-prong adapter. Depending on the appliance, you may need a voltage converter. Please consult the manufacturer’s instructions before arriving in Japan.
