 |
|
| I'm going over to japan for a few days, and I'm sure I'll need to recharge my camera batteries. Can anyone recommend a Japanese to Korean converter that I can use in Japan? Should I just wander over to yongsan and start looking around? I don't want to spend big money on it as I'm not going to be getting tons of use out of it. |

In Japan the electric system is 110V, so firstly you check the usage range of your battery charger, nowadays most of chargers have voltage range from 100-250V.
In the case your battery charger has range 100-250V, then you have to buy a plug-converter:

In the case it has only for 220V -> maybe you have to bring voltage converter  [/url]

| So you just print out the converter if you don't know Korean word for it and go to an electric store. |

I can't imagine japanese outlet to korean plug being a commonly carried item in most shops here. Korean outlet to japanese plug yes, but not the other way around. |

| OP, you don't need to go to Yongsan. Any local electrical hardware store should have one of those. Probably cost you not much more than 500won. |
