Checking plug and voltage compatibility
Power adapter compatibility check for traveling from Canada to Japan
Plug types are compatible - no adapter needed. β Voltage is compatible (120V β 100V). Note: Frequency differs (60Hz β 50Hz) - usually fine for modern devices

Yes! Your Type A and Type B plugs from Canada will fit directly into Japan's sockets. No adapter needed.
The voltage in Japan is 100V. This is lower than Canada's 120V. Your devices may work at reduced power.
No, you don't need a voltage converter. The voltage difference (120V to 100V) is safe for most modern devices, especially laptops, phones, and chargers which typically support 100-240V dual voltage.
Japan uses Type A, B sockets. You will see these socket types in hotels, airports, and public places throughout the country.
Yes, most modern electronics (iPhones, laptops, tablets, cameras) are dual-voltage (110V-240V), so they will work in Japan. Since Japan uses 100V (within the 100-240V range), your device will work fine. No plug adapter is needed.
You can buy a Type A travel adapter online (Amazon, eBay) or at the airport. Look for adapters specifically designed for Japan or universal adapters that include Type A. Check our Amazon link above for the best options.
If your plugs fit, you're good to go! However, if the voltage is different and your device isn't dual-voltage, you could damage your device. Always check your device label.
