Anyone know places in japan where you can charge your phone, laptop and camera batteries?
Other than your accommodation, do internet cafes or train stations offer you electricity? I need this for long term trips. Thanks.

Answer 1 :
For cell phone, you can charge it at some convenience stores or you can buy a portable charger. But there is no place to charge laptop or camera. First of all, your laptop or camera must have different voltages. Japan is 100VAC. You need a converter if you want to charge it.
Answer 2 :
I saw a cell phone charging station at Subway and I'm sure you could recharge at an internet cafe because some people stay there all night.
Answer 3 :
For mobile phones there are charging lockers at some major electronics stores. You basically pay a few hundred yen to place your phone in a locker with various AC adaptors for phones sold in Japan. Internet cafes might have space for laptops, it varies and depends on each cafe. One thing they do require is ID and some places only accept Japanese resident ID. Passports for tourists are sometimes not accepted. It is worth to try and at least ask. Also for cell phones sold in Japan, most stores sell a battery pack where you can use AA batteries to power up your mobile phone
