Is there a distinct dividing line between 50 and 60hz? I imagine a road that divides a neighborhood based on power supply. No wonder people in Nagoya are wishy washy.
It basically depends on who's providing power -- 60 Hz if Chubu Power, 50 Hz if TEPCO. Oh, and the dividing line is in Shizuoka (along the Fuji River), Nagano, and Niigata, FYI.
