Tiếng Việt Known for its beautiful tourist destinations, magnificent architecture, luxurious and splendid hotels, and unique cultural festivals. It's not hard to understand why Japan attracts so many tourists. Before setting foot in the Land of the Rising Sun, make sure you know what type of electrical outlet is used in Japan and what the voltage in Japan is, so you can be as well-prepared as possible for your upcoming trip!
What type of electrical outlet is used in Japan?
Electrical outlets in Japan
With different countries, besides prominent differences in language, culture, customs, food, etc., there are still some small differences that you will only realize while living in another country.
Japanese electrical outlets are flat slots
>> If you need to buy electrical outlets in Japan, please refer to theuniversal charger that can be used worldwide.
Electricity is one of the most essential needs of humans in modern life. Many people think that electricity is the same everywhere, it's just something that can light up lamps, power factories, charge phone batteries, etc.; however, you are mistaken. Because each country uses a different power source, therefore, electrical outlets and voltage will also differ.
In Japan, all electrical outlet slots are flat slots, while in Vietnam, most electrical plugs are round. Currently, most phone chargers have round pins. If you want to use them in Japan, you need to buy an adapter to convert from round to flat.

One characteristic of electrical outlets in Japan is the absence of 3-pin outlets. For some laptops with 3-pin chargers, you will need to prepare an adapter to convert from 3 flat pins to 2 flat pins. You should also prepare in advance before going to Japan to avoid situations where everything is rushed and difficult when you first arrive and have not yet settled in.

The voltage in Vietnam is regulated at 220V. However, in Japan, the voltage is 100V, so the current will be weaker than in Vietnam, which is why some people will find that charging their phone takes a considerable amount of time. On the other hand, cities in Japan also have different current frequencies:
- Eastern Japan: 50 Hz (meaning it fluctuates 50 times per second)
- Western Japan: 60 Hz (fluctuates 60 times per second)
Thus, the AC frequency in Tokyo is 50 Hz and in Osaka is 60 Hz. However, there is no need to worry too much, as most devices run well on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies; the voltage is what matters.
However, to ensure that all your devices do not run out of battery when you go to Japan, you should buy 2 to 3 electrical plug adapters for your devices in Vietnam beforehand. This will help you avoid difficulties in using electrical devices when in Japan.
A small note is that you should not buy electrical appliances from Japan as gifts for your family, because you will have to buy a voltage converter to use them, which is quite inconvenient.
