I plan on taking my Chi flat iron to Japan this march so I can style my hair. I took it last year and it worked fine, except maybe the iron got a little bit too hot (I just turned down the temperature). But I'm curious to know if I might short circuit the hotel, etc. The iron runs on 120V, 35Watts.
Thanks.

The voltage difference is 110 vs 120
and you won't need a converter.
220v is for washing machines and such not your regular household gear I've Been in japan Twenty years and the only diff erence I ever noticed was my blow dryer ran just a little slower but it still lasted 10 yrs.

Most hotels have transformers that you can use inside [just sign it out]- there tiny little plugs that you just slip over your iron-socket.
You may need one, because if not it may damage the irons and you run the risk of getting a shock.
You can also check with the hotel about there level of voltage just to be safe.
