Answer 1 :
You don't need a surge protector, but you will need a converter to go from the 3-prong plug to a 2-prong plug. Those are cheap, and you can find it at almost any electronics store in Japan, and in many stores in the USA, too.
Answer 2 :
You only need Surge Protection if your location has power-surges.. === I use Surge Protection.. But I look to limit power surges.. ..like my Sub-woofer.. And I discarded a coffee maker.. Should there be a power failure..I pull all my plugs from the wall.. Until I'm sure the power is running well.. === Also..I have read that a Surge Protector will contain the harmful effects of a power surge(the HEAT)..the fluctuation in AC Current will still reach your PC.. ..and if you know that a power surge has ocurred..you need to shut down and un-plug the Surge Protector to RESET--its capabilities..// [end]
Answer 3 :
Hey make sure the charger goes from 100V~### because Japan is 100Volts
