I visited Botan Park (Peony Garden) of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu which is a Shinto shrine to see biological impacts of Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant accident. Though I have visited various places in Japan to see the health consequences of the accident, I have never found any effect against creatures in Japan.
The shrine was originally founded in Zaimokuza in 1063 by Minamoto Yoriyoshi to be dedicated to Hachiman, the guardian deity of the Genji (Minamoto) clan. In 1180, the descendant Minamoto Yoritomo moved the shrine to its present site. In 1191, he set the shrine as the center of the Kamakura Shogunate (Government of Kamakura), and also modeled it into the present arrangement-the Jogu shrine on the top of the stone steps and the Wakamiya Shrine at the bottom of it. You can enjoy not only these majestic buildings but also amazingly beautiful peonies at the shrine garden. The poenies in the shrine garden are at their best from January to March (Winter peony) and from April to May (Spring peony).
Generally speaking, plant's growth is so fast than human beings that they are more sensitive to radioactive materials of the environment than us. So I visited Botan Park of Tsurugaoka Hachimangu to see effects of the accident against 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 Kanagawa Japan.

About 3 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." 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."
Kanagawa prefecture is very far away from Fukushima as same as Tokyo and people in Kanagawa have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in Kanagawa prefecture have already forgotten the accident, because it is very far away from the Fukushima and radioactive materials cannot reach there.
We know there is no problem for child birth and child rearing in Kanagawa. So people in Kanagawa 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.
