Yes from Europe you'll need an adapter. United States people wont. Other than you might want to bring a grounding plug adapter as a lot of the plugs there are only the 2 prong type. United States is 110 to 115 but may fluctuate to 120. Japan runs on 120 If I recall correctly. Things still work just fine.

Visit Kyoto, Tokyo, and Yokohama. You wont have much trouble with language until you are outside of the bigger cities. For instance as you go on the train from Tokyo to Yokohama you start seeing the notification on the trains change from Japanese and English to just Japanese only. Our whole family goes there once a year to visit my inlaws. This year should be super interesting considering we are taking 3 kids over this time. Plannin an October trip this year. Think it will be my 7th time going over.
