Can I use 110 volt in Japan?
In Japan, the voltage for electric mains is 100 V. Most electrical appliances can withstand a 10-20% difference but generally speaking, overvoltage is more dangerous. Using a device designed for 110V or 120V in Japan leads to a slight undervoltage, which means it will most probably still work.
Is it OK to plug 230V to 220V?
Many appliances are designed with swings in voltage in mind. Let’s say the electronics are rated at 230 volts, they will work with 200 and 250 volts. Depending on country, the outlet voltage is either 220 or 110. From 200v to around 250, most appliances are fine.
