Reference question
Hello, I have made a late reply to your reference desk question:
- I have successfully used my US laptop, US digital camera, US cell phone charger (just to get at my phone book - the phone itself does not work in Japan) and US iPod many times in Japan. The difference between 110 and 100 is not significant, generally. As Kjoon says, your power adaptor should give you the allowable ranges. One thing you may have a problem with, however, is the shape of the plug. Some US plugs are polarized so the neutral blade that is wider than the other. Most Japanese plugs are not polarized and therefore your wide neutral blade may not fit. Also, most Japanese plugs in hotels (at least the ones I have stayed at) seem to be ungrounded. So, if you have a plug with a third prong, it will not fit. The solution is to buy a 3-prong to 2-prong converter. Instead of a fancy travel pack with lots of adaptors you don't need (at least for your current trip), you can find this at almost any big hardware store and it should cost less than $1. Finally, most hotels don't have enough power outlets to cover all the gadgets you will bring with you. Therefore, you may want to bring a small 6 outlet power strip.
