Travel adapter from Japan to Mexico
No Adapter Needed
You will not need a plug adapter — Japan and Mexico share at least one common plug shape (Type A, Type B). Voltages differ (100 V at home vs 127 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.
