What is the current in Japan? Are your devices compatible?

When planning a trip to Japan, understanding the differences in electrical outlets is essential to ensuring compatibility of your electronic devices.

Japan uses a frequency of 50/60 Hz , slightly higher than in France, and the voltage is 100 V , lower than in France. It is likely that you will need a transformer for your electronic devices.

Good news for travelers : many chargers for cell phones, cameras, laptops, tablets, electric toothbrushes, or other electronic devices are usually internationally compatible. They often display the words: INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz, indicating their adaptability around the world.

Before leaving for Japan, be sure to check the compatibility of your devices and possibly equip yourself with an adapter or transformer to fully enjoy your stay.
