There are transformer-based adapters sold in travel stores, and on 
eBay.  According to the service manual, the Japan version uses 30W. As 
long as the one you get is sized for *at least* the wattage of the DX, 
you should be OK.

I see about a dozen of these transformers on eBay right now, for 
$20-50USD.  Not surprisingly, many are being sold by Japanese sellers.  
The Kashimura TI-101 looks like a decent match:  110-130V in, 100V out, 
35W max.  The Yazawa HTD130V100W also looks good: 110-130V in, 100V out, 
100W.
