I brought a Remington hair straightener today that works on worldwide voltage. However I noticed on the iron that it says 120-240V~. Will this still work in Japan, but only slower?

Japan runs on 100V, but if your hair straightener runs on 120V, it "should" be okay. For a short trip, nothing bad will happen. It's only 10V. However, if you plan to live in Japan for up to a year, you may consider buying a new one. I have a set of electric clippers that broke on me, but only after 2 years in Japan, and it was already over 7 years old when it broke. It wasn't "worldwide voltage" rated. Only North American rated. Japan also runs two types of Hz cycles. 50Hz in Tokyo and 60Hz in Osaka. It shouldn't be a big problem either.
