I visited Kyoto City Zoo 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 City Zoo is located in Okazaki Park. Within its spacious grounds are 700 animals, representing of more than 170 species. There are also a library, which has movies and books about animals, and game facilities. There are many cherry trees within the grounds, where visitors can enjoy each of the four seasons.
So I visited Kyoto City Zoo to see effects of the accident against marine creatures which are grown up by Japanese foods 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.

This is Kinkaku (The Golden Pavilion) / Rokuon-ji Temple
Kinkaku (The Golden Pavilion) is a shariden, a Buddhist hall containing relics of Budda. The garden and buildings, centered on the Golden Pavilion, were said to represent the Pure Land of Buddha in this world.

The Rock Garden
This is The Rock Garden at Ryoanji temple.
The rectangular Zen garden is completely different from the gorgeous gardens of court nobles constructed in the Middle Ages. No trees are to be seen; only fifteen rocks and white gravel are used in the garden. This internationally famous rock garden was said to be created at the end of Muromachi Period (around 1500), by a highly respected Zen monk, Tokuho Zenketsu.
“Tsukibai”
A unique wash-basin of stone.
Tsukubai, the stone wash-basin for the tea room, has a unique inscription, “I learn only to be contented.” He who learns only to be contented is spiritually rich, while the one who does not learn to be contented is spiritually poor even if he is materially wealthy. This concept is important in the Zen spirit. You can see it at Ryoanji.

2 and a 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.
