USB outlet plugs in Japan
USB outlet plugs in Japan
Hey !Japan,
I’ll be visiting this country for the first time in a few weeks. I know Japan uses different wall outlets than my country, so I was debating about buying adapters, or waiting and buying USB plugs when I get there.
All of my devices can be charged by either USB A or C, and I was wondering if anyone could share their recommendations in this regard.
Is it easy to walk in to any convenience or electronics store and pick up a couple chargers for cheap? Would you recommend this over buying some travel adapters ahead of time?
You're viewing a single thread.
Convenience stores and even ¥100 shops sell chargers. The ones at the ¥100 shop are about ¥770 for USB C (less for A), and the ones at the convenience stores are twice the price or more. Most stations also offer portable charger rentals, too.
When I first moved here, I brought a power strip from my home country and just used that with an adapter. It worked well but YMMV.
Hope you have a great trip anyway.
Sweet! I figured they wouldn’t be too hard to find.
Putting a power strip behind an adapter is an interesting idea though, I will have to think about that. Might be nice for the extra range etc.
Thanks for your feedback!
