Electricity information

The voltage in Japan is 100V, and the frequency is 60Hz in Western Japan including Gamagori, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka, and 50 Hz in Eastern Japan including Tokyo and Yokohama.

The most Japanese electrical power outlets are now identical to ungrounded 2-pin North American outlets polarized (one slot is slightly wider than the other) for Type A plugs, but it is possible to encounter non-polarized outlet having two narrow slots only for the Japanese electrical plugs, see the figures shown below.
