Asahiyama zoo, Hokkaido

Asahiyama Zoo is a very popular zoological garden just outside of central Asahikawa City in the middle of Hokkaido where the annual temperature gap reaches almost 70°C. It is Japan’s farthest northern zoo — visited by 3 million people per year. Located in the very north of Japan, Asahiyama Zoo is home to 800 animals of 124 different species. A zoo featuring fascinating exhibits showing the behavior of the animals in their natural habitats. They lies in the enclosures which allow visitors to observe the animals from various angles, many of which are unique to Asahiyama Zoo. Animals on display include native wildlife from Hokkaido, including deer, eagles, cranes and (now extinct) wolves, as well as various animals from across the world, such as polar bears, apes, big cats and giraffes. Their daily feeding time is also a must-see. (source)

 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, Hokkaido is very far away from Fukushima, people in Hokkaido have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in Hokkaido 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 Hokkaido. So people in Hokkaido 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.

 About 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 accident among Japanese creatures. As far as I know, nobody has health problem which is caused by the accident in Japan.

 As PM Abe said, Australia is very far away from Fukushima too, Aussie have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. Aussie have already forgotten the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, because they think radioactive materials cannot reach there.

 We know there is no problem for childbirth and child rearing in Australia. So Australian people are living without any concern about the accident. I continue to visit various places in the world 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.
