Electricity Supply in Japan

Japan makes use of two types of plug points; one is two-pronged as is the same style of plug point that is mainly used in North and Central America and China. The second is similar to the first but with a third prong for grounding. The first style can be used in the second. Use this website to check if you need to bring an adapter with you to Japan.

In Japan, the standard voltage is 100 V and the frequency is 50/60 Hz.

The power supply in Europe differs not only from country to country but sometimes from region to region within a country. If bringing electrical equipment, please check with your local supplier for a suitable adapter across the counties you will be visiting.
