Heading to Japan with Aussie kit? You’ll need a simple adapter from Australia’s Type I, 230 V, 50 Hz plug to Japan’s Type A (two flat pins, 100 V, 50/60 Hz) sockets.
Most phone and laptop chargers are rated 100–240 V, so no bulky converter required—just check the tiny print on the charger before you get cocky.
If your device needs an earth pin, look for an adapter that ends in Type B (three-pin) since many Japanese outlets are two-pin only.
One last quirk: some outlets are polarised, so bring a decent multi-adapter and save yourself the hotel-room yoga behind the mini-fridge.
