Yep, as Dan said replacing existing installation in the wall is
expensive, unless you own your house when it might be worth it anyway.
But running a longish wire from a properly grounded outlet to the
machine corner makes sense most of the time. Get a long 3 prong
extension cord that comes with a 2 prong male + green wire, add the
surge protector and plug all your machines there. For additional
safety, avoid laser printers or other (kitchen) appliances on the same
outlet ;-)

After I sent my previous mail, I saw there are quite a few chapo
options from domestic makers (like 800 yen), which will not do much,
since they don't limit over-voltage too much.
For example, if I read it correct this thing will happily let 395V
which will fry some parts at least:

I'd suggest looking at the APC site (use the US to get to understand
their surge protector products) and getting a surge protector for
Japan.

Cheers,
