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?

    Yeah, duly noted. I want to avoid ever plugging a usb device into some wall - mounted usb plug.

    I’m looking at picking up some “brick” chargers - the type that usually come with a phone (at least in the past).

    I already have a power bank that I plan on bringing - it’s a bit older tech, But it still boasts a large battery bank and I’m hoping it’ll work for the pocket Wi-Fi and phone during the day.

      This photo from a recent trip to Japan of the plugs available in many hotel rooms.

      I’d even recommend buying a cheap power strip when you get there, just you can move the plug around in your hotel room. A lot of hotel rooms have inconvenient sockets
