Japan - Electric Socket

Hi,

I think I know this one, but want to be sure - are the electric sockets (and voltage, frequency) in Japan any different from the same in the USA?

My laptop, camera and camcorder were purchased in the US and I have the chargers from there. I want to be sure they will work as-is in Japan too.

Or will I need any converter / plugs? Appreciate your help on this!

Regards,

- JK

2 flat pins. If you have a 3 prong plug, you need an adapter.

Hey thanks for the prompt reply! But will the appliance work %26#39;as is%26#39; in Japan, or will it need a converter - I mean the voltage frequency etc..is there anything I have to be careful about?
