Hi all, i like to ask is japan safe to travel since the radiation leak? all replies appreciated!

[Mummy AY]

MummyJune,


Are you talking about the leak that happened due to the tsunami that took place a few years ago?
If so, my suggestion is ~ how about avoid that area altogether? Many other very beautiful places in the southern side to visit … Okinawa, Matsuyama in Shikoku, Osaka, etc. Okinawa may be a little ‘ulu’, but it’s really unique and beautiful!

Frankly, no one has the answer for you. There are still people living there, not only Tokyo but at Fukushima area. I still go to Japan, although I do not go near Fukushima. Many people are still travelling to Japan. There are also many others who won't go. You have to decide for yourself. No one can decide for you.

Yes, people in Tokyo go about their lives as usual … when I visited the Skytree just about 2 weeks ago, it was so crowded with tourists and locals alike …

Yep agree .
My view is to avoid traveling near that region
people are only on holidays for abt a week to 2 week, radiation exposure shd be ok . lots of places in Japan to travel , Osaka, Hokkaido , Nagoya etc the radiation level in these places are as low like Singapore

Hi all. I’m planning a year end trip of 8 nights to Tokyo. Is 8 nights too long in Tokyo itself? Any outskirts away from the city to recommend. Initial plan is to book Airbnb as we have 3 children but find it quite risky. Any good apartment to recommend?

Any idea ANA runs promo? Not sure we should purchase it now.
I would love to move around prefectures but hubby find it troublesome lugging around luggages. Is it cheaper to get the JR pass here? Appreciate your sharing of experiences. TIA.
