Is Tech Adaptation Needed?

Japan uses Type A/B plugs and 100V. Most modern electronics handle it.

Bring a compact adapter and a power strip for multiple devices. If you carry cameras or drones, pack spare batteries—outlets in trains are limited outside Green/Gran Class.

Hotels often provide adapters, but personal ones ensure consistency.
