   Sure. It’s different from Malaysia. But you can buy an adapter at an airport in Japan.

   Yes the voltage in Japan is 100V. Just buy the multi voltage plug in Malaysia before u travel. Your laptop power supply can handle 100 to 240 volt, just plug into the adaptor and it will work as normal. Japan normally use 2 pin only. Camera can normally work 100 to 240V for Japan type camera, pls check your voltage input or your power supply if it is not a Japanese version camera.

   1- Check your laptop and camera battery charger/adapter if its auto or dual voltages ( 100V~220V )

   2-Make sure the plug prongs are of the 2 pins flat type.

   3-Normally the chargers for cameras are of 2 pins round type if purchase in Malaysia . Get the 2 pins flat type , normally sold at RM 1

   4-The adapter for laptop if purchase in Malaysia are of the 3 pins British standard.You need to open the plug or get a “power pin changer” from any electronics shops.
   Normally sold at RM 4-RM8

   5-Get all this done while in Malaysia , so no need to fumbles and runs around in Japan.

   6- Same type of power plugs applies if you ever go to USA , Canada , China and Thailand .
   Except Thai and China is at 220V .
