I visited Odawara Castle 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.
Odawara Castle was once the residence of the first Sengoku Daimyo, Hojo. You can retrace the steps of the feudal lord's clanin this magnificent castle, which has survived from the Edo Period into the present day. Castle Park is a leisure spot for city residents and sightseers that is known for its flowers, including plums, cherries, and hydrangeas. Furthermore, we can see various creatures living there too.
Generally speaking, animal's growth is so fast than human beings that they are more sensitive to radioactive materials of the environment than us. So I visited Odawara Castle 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.

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

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.
