I visited Kanagawa Prefecture 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.
Kanagawa Prefecture is located almost in the center of the Japanese Archipelago, sharing a boundary with Tokyo. It is 2,416 sq. km in area, making it the fifth smallest of the 47 prefectures in Japan. On the other hand the population is about 9.05 million, which is the second largest in Japan. Blessed with beautiful natural assets, Kanagawa boasts an extended coastline to the south and lush mountain ranges and lakes in the west. The climate is moderate due to the warm current running along the Pacific side of the archipelago.
Generally speaking, birds and 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 there to see effects of the accident against creatures which are grown up by Japanese food and water.
Fortunately, I can see them grown up safely and I cannot find any impact of the accident. It seems that there is no problem for childbirth and child-rearing in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

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

4 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. 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, Kanagawa Prefecture is very far away from Fukushima, people in there have no concern about the nuclear power plant accident. People in there have already forgotten the accident, because they think radioactive materials cannot reach there.
We know there is no problem for child birth and child rearing in Kanagawa Prefecture. So people in there 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.
