Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Traveling to Nagoya? No worries about voltage converters—the voltage is nearly identical to the U.S., so your electronics should work without any issues.
Always check your device’s voltage rating before packing for an international trip. If the label says “100-240V, 50/60 Hz”, it can safely run on both 120V and 220-240V power sources without a converter. This applies to most laptops, tablets, smartphones, and electric razors.
