Common questions
Do I need a plug adapter from Canada to Japan?
No. Both Canada and Japan use Type A/B sockets, so your plugs will fit.
Will my devices work on Japan’s voltage?
Japan runs at 100V, 50/60Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
