Always verify the socket type for your specific destination before travelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it work in Japan specifically?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — Japan uses the \u003cstrong\u003eType A\u003c\/strong\u003e flat two-pin socket, which this adaptor is designed for. Japan also operates on \u003cstrong\u003e100V\/50-60Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is lower than the UK\/Irish standard of 230V. Check that your device’s power supply supports 100–240V (printed on the plug or adaptor) before use. Most modern phone chargers, laptops, and shavers are dual-voltage and will work fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does ‘unearthed’ mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn unearthed adaptor does not carry an earth (ground) connection from the UK plug to the foreign socket. This is fine for most modern small electrical devices — such as phone chargers, shavers, tablets, and laptops — which are double-insulated and do not require an earth. It is \u003cstrong\u003enot suitable for appliances that require earthing\u003c\/strong\u003e, such as some hair dryers, kettles, or high-power appliances. If in doubt, check your device’s manual or look for the double-insulation symbol (□□).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this with a hair dryer or hair straightener?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis adaptor is rated for \u003cstrong\u003esmall electrical devices only\u003c\/strong\u003e and is unearthed. High-wattage appliances like hair dryers and straighteners draw significantly more current and may also require a voltage converter if the device is not dual-voltage. We recommend using a travel hair dryer rated for 100–240V, and checking whether a separate voltage converter is needed for Japan’s 100V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this adaptor change the voltage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — this is a \u003cstrong\u003eplug adaptor only\u003c\/strong\u003e, not a voltage converter. It allows your UK\/Irish plug to physically fit into a Japan\/USA socket but does not change the voltage. Ireland and the UK supply 230V; Japan supplies 100V and the USA supplies 120V. Always check that your device is rated for the local voltage before plugging in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many devices can I plug in at once?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003esingle entry\u003c\/strong\u003e adaptor — it accepts one UK\/Irish plug at a time. If you need to charge multiple devices simultaneously, bring a multi-port USB charger or a travel extension lead with a single UK plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe to use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — this adaptor is certified to \u003cstrong\u003eBS 8546\u003c\/strong\u003e, the current British Standard for travel adaptors, which includes requirements for safety shutters, insulation, and labelling. Always purchase travel adaptors from reputable sources, as uncertified adaptors can pose a fire or electrocution risk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Travel Accessories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58796780749135,"sku":"531.101","price":9.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/5330\/4399\/files\/UK_ireland_to_japan_plug_adaptor.avif?v=1789569200","url":"https:\/\/www.carews.ie\/products\/go-travel-adaptor-uk-ireland-to-japan-usa","provider":"Carews.ie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
