Can I use American washer&dryer in Japan?

I am moving to Japan and was wondering if you know if the "washing machine and dryer"
I bought last year will work in Japan?
It is large enough to wash Comforter.
Japanese houses are spacious and have solers, so we don't have to worry about taking up space or electricity costs.

You are moving to a new residence in Japan, and you have a place to set up a fairly large washer/dryer that you will bring back with you even if you have to send it separately. If so, the only thing you need to worry about is getting electricity, gas, and water. The gas and water are just new piping and can be left to the contractor. The remaining "electricity" is only 10% of the voltage supplied to Japanese homes, which is 100V, whereas the voltage of home appliances here is 110V/220V, but the electric appliances will not work properly due to this difference.

Either way, the voltage needs to be boosted and this cannot be done by amateurs. In some cases, the wiring may have to be done from a utility pole on the street outside. Aside from the cost concerns, the installation itself will be no problem. All in all, ask your friends who live in Japanese houses.

If you are moving to a residential complex in Japan, the above installation may not be possible from the beginning.

Assuming that it is the latest equipment
I don't understand why you are asking this question as it is so obvious, but it is possible to use it although it is subject to installation work on the house side There are many people who bring it home with them
But they don't turn off all the lights while they are doing laundry
The installation cost will be huge depending on the power consumption of the equipment they bring back. The construction cost will be huge depending on the power consumption of the equipment you bring back, so you have to check the Japanese side of the house.
By the way, # 6 above mentioned
> The voltage supplied to Japanese houses is only 10% of 100V, while it runs on 110V/220V, but electric devices do not run properly due to this difference.
when are you talking about? ? nowadays, the equipment is equipped with an inverter, so a difference of 10% or so is fine. Ignore the above opinion.

> Today's devices have inverters, so a difference of about 10% is fine

inverter noun [electrical] inverter < a device that converts DC to AC >

An inverter is a device that converts DC12V power from automobiles and other ( converting ) 100V/120V AC inverts for household use device or circuit.

There was a discussion in another topic about whether a 100V powered "Electric Rice Cooker" brought from Japan could be used here in the U.S. The current electric rice cookers do not directly run 100V/120V AC to the heating coil, but rectify AC to DC and then run it through a stabilizing circuit before being converted to IH. The current electric kettle does not even shake when the input AC voltage fluctuates greatly.

On the other hand, the electric circuits of large white home appliances such as washing machines ・ dryers ・ and refrigerators discussed here use large amounts of electric power for motors, pumps, electric heating elements, etc. Therefore, if a circuit to control large currents with 100V ~ 120V AC is built in, the selling price will go up dramatically, which is a realistic possibility. Therefore, it is not realistic to incorporate a circuit to control large currents without changing the 100V 120V AC voltage. Therefore, in the case of this topic, if you use 120VAC input appliances with 100VAC in Japan, there is a possibility that they will not work properly. Well, you can try it one way or the other.

For the time being, you can try to connect them as they are without any modifications, and if they cause any problems, you can take countermeasures.

Since it is connected to the one with lower voltage, it is not likely to generate heat from the circuit or catch fire.

You might say that the dryer is not fully dry after some time. If that's the case, just try turning it a little more.

Settlement for 0 fault car accident

On a T-shaped road, the other side did not pause and ran into me. The airbag also went out and the body of the car was left in a state of disrepair. I am not sure at this point whether my car will be repaired or scrapped, but I am wondering what the market rate is for compensation and settlement money in this case of accident ?. I was referred to a lawyer by a friend, but should I ask for a lawyer ? I would appreciate it if anyone who is familiar with accidents could tell me anything.

Japan is in trouble with masks.

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • japanese woman
  • 2022/04/09 17:48

In the U.S., the Corona restrictions have been eased and the masks have already been lifted. Americans have always disliked masks, and I don't think most of them wear them anymore. In Japan, however, the situation is reversed. People say, "It's hard for me to take off my mask because everyone else is wearing it," even though they don't have to wear it outdoors. I don't want to stand out without a mask. I wear it because it would be troublesome if the mask police say something," 90% of people wear masks due to peer pressure. Parents and children wearing masks in an empty park. ( Not during hay fever season. ) Ballplayers wearing masks in the entrance procession at the Koshien stadium.
Also, the National Governors' Association, which believes in masks so much, even forced 3-year-olds to wear masks, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare agreed to it. There are children as young as 3 years old who often walk around wearing masks,...what is going on in the thought process of their parents?
The Governor of Yamanashi Prefecture, who told people to always wear masks during club activities, is out of his mind.
When it gets hot from now on, will we still be wearing masks under the blazing sun in outdated Japan ? !

So I ask you all. To awaken the mask believers in Japan, please put your opinions in the opinion form on the website of the Japanese Prime Minister's Office ? I would like you to let people know that in the U.S., people can live normally without masks.

If this situation continues, Japan will be looked at strangely by the world.

Please help us.

There are still many people wearing masks over here ? Masks are still required for transportation and hospitals 。

is ? just because you are a mask denier doesn't mean that all Japanese over here are. I don't think anyone over here would go to the trouble of posting about masks on a website for Japanese people in Japan. Even if it's already good without masks in the U.S., the situation differs from country to country, so why don't you complain about it on your own ? ! I don't understand why you bother to ask such a thing here 。.

If a cure for cancer and baldness is developed, that person will win the Nobel Prize
In other words, it can only be done by manipulation at the DNA level, which means it is impossible
If the baldness switch in your DNA is turned on, nothing you do will help
If your hair starts falling out even though the switch is not turned on, it will return if you change your lifestyle, including your diet.
But you don't know which is which
If you change your lifestyle for 6 months and try to make it stress free, but you still lose hair, you have to give up because it's DNA.

I don't speak English very well, so I would appreciate it if someone who is familiar with car insurance could tell me more about it.

I am going back to Japan for a month and would like to lend my car to a friend who does not have one.
My insurance policy is in the name of my husband and myself. ( My husband has his own car )

When I return to Japan, I have a one-day car insurance policy and we take turns driving when I make long driving trips with friends.
I wonder if there is such insurance for driving other people's cars in the U.S. ?
If you know of any such insurance, please advise.

I'll ignore the fried details of your statement, but

A normal, smart person wouldn't lend to a friend or acquaintance first.
If it's between acquaintances, if something goes wrong, there's no contract, and both parties are responsible for each other's actions. You don't know if you bumped it or not, or if someone bumps the bottom of your car, you don't know unless you tell them because it doesn't look like it. Even if there is a defect later, you can't hold each other responsible. It is already too late.

It's only people who drive cheap used cars that lend or borrow for a relationship ? It's not possible.
