I have been living in Japan for 1 week and I have a hard time to find a way to solve my problem. I have a MAC and I have 3 holes but here there are only using 2 holes. Should I go to MAC store and buy a new plug? Any solutions would be appreciate^^
Thanks

I'm a little confused by your question. Are you able to plug in and charge your laptop now? If yes then don't worry about the plug.
Does your plug have 2 or 3 prongs (and what do they look like? You may just need a plug adapter. You can buy one from an electronics store. You don't need to buy a mac specific one.

All you need is a three pong to two prong adapter, you don't need to go out and buy a whole new adapter.
If you go to Akihabara they should have it. Show your plug if you need assistance or language barrier.

Just bring a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter. My son has been using his Dell laptop and I have been charging my iPhone all week without problems.

Another plug question

I have a similar problem. I want to bring my laptop to Japan next week, but the laptop has a European grounded plug (type F, according to kropla.com/electric2.htm).
The only grounded type F adapters I've been able to find so far, only have the 3-prong (type B) option for use in Japan.
How common are the 3-prong outlets in Japan? I've read they aren't as common as the 2-prong (type A) outlets, but what are the chances of finding them in hotels?
Or should I buy yet another adapter from the airport or Japan? Do "type F to type A" adaptors even exist, or should I buy a "type B to type A" adapter to go use with my "type F to type B" adapter? Is it even possible to use two adapters for one electronic appliance?
This is beginning to give me a headache, but I don't want to leave my laptop at home either...

try the duty free store

I had that issue in Kyoto last year, and found an adaptor in a duty free store - they had heaps of different ones. Take your plug/cord with you, though because they all look pretty much alike but have subtle differences.
