Clock Made

I have an electric alarm clock made in the USA, but it runs slow here in Tokyo. How can I make it operate?
I have a brand new Sharp LED alarm clock model SPC033 from the USA, but it runs slow here in Tokyo. What can I do to make it keep the correct time?
IF it is running 10 minutes slow every hour it is sure that the clock it taking its time from the mains frequency.
Although there are things you can buy such as an online ups or a battrey charger and and inverter, which would make the clock run closer to the right time, these methods are both expensive and inaccurate. The clocks rely on the accuracy of the power supply and the power supply is adjusted to maintain a precise number of ticks in a 24 hour period.
It will be far cheaper and more accurate to get a new alarm clock made to run from Japanese Power.
