What it means for your plugs

Your plugs

Your Australian plugs won't fit. Japan has Type A and B sockets, and a Type A adaptor (two flat pins) fits both.

The power

The power is 100 V, lower than the 230 V at home. Check the label on each charger: if it says 100–240 V, it works there with just an adaptor. Hair dryers and straighteners made for 230 V often don't.

  • Type A: two flat pins
  • Type B: two flat pins and a round earth pin
