From Japan to Germany
When travelling from Japan to Germany: None of your Japan plug types fit in Germany. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (100V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (50Hz / 60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.
