Electricity and Voltage

Japanese 100V socket

The electricity supply in Fujiyoshida City is 100 V AC 50 Hz with a non-polarized two-pronged plug/socket arrangement (see the photo on the right) that will accept an ungrounded two-pronged plug as often used in North America. (Note that North American three-pronged plugs, as well as two-pronged polarized plugs with one larger prong will both *need an adaptor, as will plugs from other parts of the world.) The official hotels do not have adaptors to adjust to your electricity devices. We strongly urge that you bring your own adaptor and transformer.
