I arrived here last March 31. People might think that I am stupid for coming here despite the radiation fear.
When Japan was hit by a tsunami last month, I decided not to come to Japan anymore. But thanks God, things went a little bit okey and so my family pursued our scheduled vacation trip to Japan.
It is good that we are in Fukouka, Japan which is thousand kilometers south of Miyagi prefecture. We are blessed that there are no earthquakes here.
But still, I am praying for our safety. I'm enjoying the trip here.

I hope Japan have back in good situation now. After Fukuoka incident, it make Japan became dangerous country to visit. I will go travel to japan if I have more time from my company. I like to visit shibuya and shinjuku again. That's my favorite place in Tokyo

I think people who are not in Japan are the ones who are panicking but people in Japan are not panicking at all. Its amazing how they handle situations like that. But we still cant deny that the outbreak of radiation is still there so while you are staying there in Japan, good luck to you and be safe.

My father went to Japan too after the whole tsunami thing. it was some sort of business trip. But I really envy you! I want to go there too. I heard that there are a lot of nice shops and the food is really exotic. i hope you share your experiences here on mylot.

Well done for going ahead with your trip to Japan. I know that you were worried if it was safe for you to still go and it is so that is wonderful. You are one thousand km south of where the danger is in Japan. I hope that one more earthquakes will happen. I hope that you will continue to have a really fantastic time there. Happy times are ahead of you in your destination I think.
