Japan to Madagascar: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Japan to Madagascar? Plug types and voltage standards differ between countries, so a little preparation goes a long way. Here's a breakdown of what to expect at the wall socket.

Your Japan plugs (Type A, B) won't fit Madagascar's outlets (Type C, E). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Madagascar before you depart.

Voltage is another key difference. Japan uses 100V while Madagascar uses 220V. If your device only supports one voltage, using it with the wrong supply could cause overheating or permanent damage. Look for "Input: 100-240V" on your charger. Most modern phone and laptop chargers support this range.

Most modern phone chargers, laptop adapters, and camera chargers are designed to handle 100-240V input, so they'll work anywhere with just a plug adapter. Heat-producing appliances like hair dryers and flat irons are often single-voltage, so check before you plug them in abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Japan uses Type A/B plugs and Madagascar uses Type C/E. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
