Living in Tokyo

Voltage

Household electric current in Japan is 100 Volt, which is different from North America (120V), Europe (230V) and most other regions of the world. Some North American equipment will work fine in Japan without an adapter and vice versa; however, certain appliances, especially those involving heating (e.g., hair dryers), may not work properly or can even suffer damage or become a fire hazard. If you are coming from Europe, understand that most of your household appliances may not work in Japan, even with an adapter.
