Do I need an actual converter for my trip to Japan?

Question:


When I went to Japan last summer I took my charger that had only two prongs and it worked perfectly. I'm going back to Japan in 3 weeks. Unfortunately, I've since lost that charger and instead have one that ends in 3 prongs. If I just get one of those simple 3-to-2 prong converters (for use in like old houses that don't have 3rd prong spaces), will that work fine?
Thanks for your time!

Answer:


You should be ok. Much of Japan is 100v / 50hz, and most things will work fine. Things like hair dryers may take longer to get hot.
