PR Plug adapter for Japan (Japanese online store)
Lets a type C plug (pins 4.0mm) fit Japan's type A outlets
The store page says: rated 6A, 125V/250V. It cannot change voltage; devices not made for Japan's voltage need a separate transformer.
Note: rated 6A means about 600W at Japan's 100V, so do not use it for devices that draw more than that. Plugs with pins thicker than 4.0mm will not fit.
Amazon.co.jp offers Japanese, English and Simplified Chinese. Click the flag at the top right of the page, or open the language settings page, and choose English. Some parts of the site may still be in Japanese.
- Amazon's help says most of its sites accept the same email and password, but the Japan and China sites need separate accounts. Linking an Amazon.com account to Amazon.co.jp is not currently accepted
- To sign up, enter your name, a mobile phone number or an email address, and a password, then enter the one-time code that Amazon sends you
- Your hotel: Amazon's help pages do not cover delivery to hotels or vacation rentals. Ask your hotel or host before you order whether they will accept a parcel for you
- Pickup points: Amazon lockers, Amazon counters, Lawson, FamilyMart, Ministop, Yamato Transport offices and PUDO stations. Only items shipped by Amazon.co.jp can go to a pickup point
- Convenience stores and Yamato offices take items up to 80cm in total (length + width + height) and 10kg
- Pick it up in time: Lawson, Ministop and FamilyMart counters 4 days; Yamato offices and Amazon counters 7 days; Amazon lockers, FamiLockers and PUDO 3 days (from delivery). For convenience stores, Yamato offices and PUDO, Amazon says the item is sent back and the order cancelled after that
- At a Yamato office, show the tracking number and an ID β a passport is accepted. Use the full name on your ID as the recipient's name
Some travelers suggest using the same name as your hotel booking and timing the delivery for your stay. This is from travelers' experience, not Amazon's guidance; every hotel is different.
- Listed payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, JCB, and UnionPay (credit cards only), including debit cards
- When you order, a 1-yen charge is made to check the card; the card issuer cancels or refunds it
- Amazon's help does not say whether cards issued outside Japan work; you will see when you add your card
The delivery date depends on the item and the address. Check it on the order screen before you confirm, especially if you are only staying a few nights.
