Hi guys,
I am supposed to be flying to Osaka on Thursday, and heading to Fukuoka via Kyoto, Kobe and Hiroshima, before spending about 2 weeks in Tokyo, Yokohama and the surrounding areas. I was due to be in Japan on holiday for a month.
I have of course been reading with great sadness about the natural disasters happening in Japan in recent days. I am however struggling to decide where the obviously sensationalist, fear-mongering newspaper articles meet the reality of the situation, with particular regards to the nuclear fallout risk, food/water contamination and food shortages.
My question is, how bad is it in Tokyo? And, if in my situation, would you fly to Osaka this week? There is a possibility I could cancel my trip and reschedule to October, by which time things will hopefully have settled down...
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated as I am genuinely unsure of what to do.
Many thanks for your time
