Traveling to Japan soon?

One common question many American tourists have is whether their electrical devices will work there.

The short answer is - it depends.

Understanding the intricacies of electrical compatibility between the U.S.

and Japan is crucial for a seamless and worry-free trip.

Japan operates on a 100V, 50/60Hz electrical system, while the U.S.

uses 120V, 60Hz.

This means the voltage and frequency differ between the two countries.

Most modern electronics like laptops, phones, and tablets are dual voltage and can handle both 100V and 120V with no issues.

However, larger appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, and electric kettles may not function properly without a voltage converter. - https://japanfocusguide.com/blog/do-american-plugs-work-in-japan/?unique_id_dvqv7uz5
