What Travelers Should Prepare

Check Your Devices

  • If your country uses 110V (e.g., USA, Canada, Japan), verify that your devices support 220V.
  • If your device does not support 220V, you will need a voltage converter in addition to a plug adapter.

Plug Adapter

  • Remember to bring a Type G adapter if your plug is different.
  • It is a good idea to have a universal travel adapter for multiple plug types so that you can reuse in other places.
