I visited KYOTO AQUARIUM to see biological impacts of Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant accident. Though I have visited various places in Japan to see the health consequence of the accident, I have never found any effect against creatures in Japan.
Kyoto Prefecture is a sightseeing center where people worldwide return time and time again. From the end of the Nara Period (794), Kyoto has functioned as the crossroads of Japanese history. From its beginnings as the Kunikyo and Nagaokakyo settlements until the Emperor moved to Tokyo, it was the capital of Japan for over 1000 years. Even today, Kyoto is the cultural center of Japan, and continues to be loved by Japanese and people of the world alike.
KYOTO AQUARIUM is an entirely new kind of aquarium, where visitors can have fun while developing a new appreciation for the profound connection between water and life.
So I visited KYOTO AQUARIUM to see effects of the accident against marine creatures which are grown up by Japanese food and water.
Fortunately, I could see them grown up safely and I couldn't find any impact of the accident. It seems that there is no problem for childbirth and child-rearing in Kyoto Japan.

2012年3月にオープンした京都水族館では京都府山科区で発見された青いアマガエルや鴨川のオオサンショウウオなど貴重な生物が展示されている。イルカパフォーマンスも最高に素晴らしい。

Welcome to KYOTO
The 17 properties of the World Heritage Sites
The 17 properties of the World Heritage Sites are located in Kyoto Prefecture. These heritage sites are attracting many people since each embodies a respective era in which it was constructed.
2 and half 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.
Our Prime Minister Abe assures that "the situation is under control" and "there will never be health problems."
As Kyoto is very far away from Fukushima nuclear power plant, people in Kyoto have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in Kyoto have already forgotten the accident, because it is very far away from the site and radioactive materials cannot reach there.
We know there is no problem for child birth and child rearing in Kyoto. So people in Kyoto are living without any concern about the 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.
