Gas

Make Sure to Use Gas Appliances Safely

  • There are two types of gas in Yamaguchi City: One is "city gas" and the other is "propane gas". The type of gas which will be provided to the residents varies by neighborhood. Check with the landlord or real estate agent who is in charge of the apartment to find out which type of gas is provided before buying or using a gas appliance.
  • All gas appliances can only be used with the correct type of gas. Using gas appliances from other areas may or may not be possible. Improper use of gas appliances is extremely dangerous. Check with a representative of the gas company to determine the feasibility of using such an appliance.
