Travel adapter from Japan to Brazil
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Japan, you will need a travel adapter for Brazil. Japan uses Type A/Type B plugs, and Brazil uses Type C/Type N, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. Voltages differ (100 V at home vs 127/220 V abroad), so check the label on each device. Most modern dual-voltage chargers handle the swing without a converter, but heating appliances usually do not.
