Bird watching in Tokyo, Japan


 Tokyo has good places for birdwatching. Machida is accessible by the Odakyu Line from Shinjuku, and the JR Yokohama Line between Yokohama and Hachioji.
 Machida is a good place for birdwatching too. Machida city is the western part of the metropolitan area of Tokyo, Japan.  The city was founded on February 1, 1958. The population of the at that time was 60,000. Now it grows in a city with colorful charm naturally, and the population also keeps developing beyond 420,000 people on today.

人口が多い東京にもバードウオッチングのポイントがいくつもあります。今回は町田駅の側を流れる境川で撮影しました。電車を降りて少し歩くとカワセミが飛んでいます。

Japanese foods are good and safe.
Because of stricter food safety law by Japanese government, we have no worry about foods.

 5 years have passed since Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident. I have visited various places of Japan to see the health consequence of the accident.
 Fortunately I have never found any impacts by the nuclear power plant accident among Japanese creatures. As far as I know, nobody has health problem which is caused by the accident in Japan.
 Our Prime Minister Abe assures that "The situation is under control. The influence of the contaminated water is completely blocked within Fukushima. There are no health-related problems until now and there will never be health problems." He also said that "Tokyo is 250 kilometers away from Fukushima, and the kind of danger that you imagine does not exist in Tokyo. Tokyo is a very safe city."
 As PM Abe said, Tokyo is very far away from Fukushima, people in Tokyo have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in Tokyo have already forgotten the accident, because they think radioactive materials cannot reach there.
 We know there is no problem for childbirth and child rearing in Tokyo. So people in Tokyo are living without any concern about the nuclear power plant accident.
 I continue to visit various places in Japan to see the effects of the accident, because I can meet various creatures which are more sensitive to radioactive materials from the environment. It is important to see their health for our safety.
