It's NOT safe at all.
Do not trust Japanese's government. They have lied.
The radiation level in Tokyo is below average of the world, but obviously it increased after the Fukushima nuclear plant accident.
Why? Because of contamination by Cs137 , etc.

I am in Tokyo right now, and I would like to tell you that there is a wide spectrum of information. There are those who only talk about Tokyo being safe, while there are others who talk about Tokyo being unsafe. And then there are those who are outright confused by listening to varied news.
Let me tell you that Tokyo tap water is getting better, but it still contains radioactive iodine that could impact the well-being of your child. Packaged water is in short supply, though not too difficult to find. Two litre water bottles are limited to one per customer.
There are concerns about food supply chain contamination, ill-effects of which you will see only in a few years time, when it might be too late to do anything about it.
They say the Japanese government has put in place stringent checking systems to make sure that no food from a contaminated area is sold. But just a few days ago they there was news in the papers that radioactive spinach was sold to three prefectures around Tokyo.
Further, what would you say about all restaurants that directly source vegetables from the fields and serve it to you? As a customer you would never know whether what you are eating is safe or not!
There are lessons to be learnt from Chernobyl, if you are willing to do some reading. It's really scary when you see what happened and is still happening in Europe as a result of Chernobyl.
To make a long story short, "they" say that Tokyo is safe. However, that only means that you will not die soon from the radioactive contamination in air, water, seafood, vegetables and other products in the food supply chain.
They just don’t tell you that it is unsafe in the long run, that from the current radiations that you get, few years down the line there’s a high chance that you get cancer. It’s like asking, “Sir, how would you like your cancer? Shaken or stirred?”
Scary, don’t you think?

Another unreliable website
check this out !! They are thinking who is behind that enenews website http://www.nuc.berkeley.edu/forum/218/who-behind-enenews.2011-06-14
Who is behind enenews.com, the site known as Energy News, which, for the time being, has been focusing solely on the fallout of the Japanese nuclear disaster?
The short answer is, we don’t know.
A domain registration lookup shows its private registration with the mysteriously named DomainSecrecy.net.
A ping of the domain shows the address of 98.158.182.89, which traces back to the internet domain host provider UK2 Group, which is located in Providence, Utah.
It is a mysterious site, indeed, with no About page, no mention of its authors, contact info, or its sources of funding, despite 144 posts since its inception on March 18, 2011.
With less than one full month online, the site already has a one-month Alexa rating of 129,331th place among over 20 million ranked sites on the Web.
What we do see, however, are scary headlines citing mass media sources, with added editorial.
For instance, the March 29 headline, Radioactive Iodine-131 in Pennsylvania rainwater sample is 3300% above federal drinking water standard.
3300% higher is 33 times higher, but 3300% sounds a lot scarier. The headline also draws a word association between rainwater and drinking water, despite going on to mention the mass media source that says a 3300% higher amount of radioactive iodine in rainwater samples is still 25 times less than would be of concern. Also, nowhere does the article mention that the half-life of radioactive iodine is eight days.
The article, however, adds emphasis in bold to the amount of radiation found in the rainwater samples and to the maximum EPA levels for drinking water, further making an association.
In the meantime, while many Americans are being focused on a very serious crisis for the Japanese, their focus is consequently shifted away from the more directly relevant unlawful presidential war decree on Libya, and the zero prosecutions for fraud against those who knowingly marketed subprime securities as AAA, unlike the more than a thousand convictions of the criminals involved in the far smaller savings and loan crisis of the 1980s.
Another ah tiong website that sabo the Japanese ?

No more Sushi! Radioactive contamination of fish spreading globally
POSTED BY TOKYO NUCLEAR WATCHDOG ⋅ MAY 6, 2011 ⋅ LEAVE A COMMENT
FILED UNDER IS TOKYO SAFE, JAPAN FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN CONTAMINATION, JAPAN NUCLEAR CRISIS, TOKYO RADIATION
The March 11 earthquake and tsunami knocked out cooling systems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant and, almost two months later, the nation is still struggling to prevent an atomic disaster. They say the situation is under control, but everyone knows that it could go either way at any time.
Meanwhile, the discovery of radiation in seafood has hit Japan right in its culinary heart, as the nation that brought sushi to the world contemplates having to change thousand-year-old eating habits.
For an archipelago that has lived off the ocean since prehistoric times, radioactive fish is a worst-case scenario with possibly economy-wide implications.
The realization that radioactive material has been found in seafood has made many of the nation’s 126 million people nervous.
Reference: Seafood radiation strikes the heart of Japan’s culinary scene
While we are focusing on the [lack of] safety here in Tokyo owing to radiations and radioactive contamination of food, here is a news story that explains how Tuna fish that is highly contaminated with radioactive materials like Iodine 131 and Cesium 137 will make its way across the pacific ocean, to the waters where the fishermen of USA will make their catch.
Sushi, anyone? Or, for that matter, how about canned Tuna fish especially served with natural (er, man made?) radioactive materials to spice up your senses and cells? Well, for that matter, how about fish served in any of your favorite ways?

Nothing but fear mongering from a retard.
http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g294232-i525-k4993265-Safe_to_travel_in_Japan_Tokyo-Japan.html
If you do not have an absolutely urgent need to travel to Japan, do not go, or try to minimize the stay within Japan.
If you go, wear a mask over your face whenever you go out. Try to stay Western part of Japan. Drink only imported water in bottles. Avoid Japanese green tea, fish, seaweed, rice (due to mixing of radiation fallout contamination in food supply chain). I'm a Japanese, so this makes me very sad to say (this should be no way interpreted as Japan bashing), but I will not visit Japan for the next couple of years at least (or at least avoid if possible) for the following reasons:
1. Right now, Fukushima nuclear plant still continue to spew radioactive emissions and they are leaking thousands of tons of radioactive water underground and into the Pacific Ocean every day.
Three (3) Fukushima nuclear reactors suffered "melt-through" (more serious than 'melt-down'). The super-heated nuclear fuel melted through the steel containment vessels and now thought to be eating away the concrete beneath them. Neither Tokyo Electric (the Fumushima plant owner) or Japanese government know where the melted fuels are currently or what temperature or what state they are (they’ve admitted so), but they are sure, based on many computer simulations, that this is the best case scenario. (See " yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/T111215006237.htm ")
The spent fuel pool in reactor #4 contains over 1500 plutonium rich spent fuel rods as well as new rods. This reactor building is also badly damaged; the pool is barely staying up on the building frame, exposed to outer elements. If there is another big earthquake, these fuel rods could fall out directly into the ground, causing severe groundwater contamination or even an explosion.
2. External Radiation Exposure. This happens from being in a high radiation location. Although the most danger lies in the disaster area (Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate), considerable amounts of nuclear particles were scattered across most part of Japan and there are many radiation ‘hot spots’ even in Tokyo. A recent study reported high dose of radioactive contamination even in Tokyo house dust.
Japanese government recently began publishing atmospheric radiation measurements in each region and they say the most areas are safe. But if you look closely at their practice, often the measuring meters are located at 18 meter or higher. The radioactive fallout concentrate on the ground and that is where people conduct daily activities. So, the artificially diluted measurement at 18m means no assurance to humans.
3. Japanese government recently began a new initiative of transporting the earthquake/tsunami debris from the disaster area to cities all over Japan and forcing the local governments to bury and burn the disaster debris in community incinerators that do not have proper filters or emission monitoring. Citizen’s protests are simply ignored or vetoed by governors of many cities. This debris is likely to be contaminated with Fukushima radiation. You do not need a science degree to foresee that such burning would re-disperse and re-contaminate not only the Eastern Japan but the entire Japanese cities that had minimum contamination so far.
This burning will continue every day all over Japan from now through 2014 at the least, according to Japanese central government estimate. With this initiative, trucks, rails, and ships carrying the radioactive debris are freely and without any protection crisscrossing through major train stations and ports of Japan where you as a tourist would most likely use to transit.
4. Internal Radiation Exposure. Japanese government has done very little to secure the nations’ food supply chain since the March 11, 2011 disaster. It is always several weeks to months later after the contaminated foods (beef, milk, water, vegetables, fish, etc.) were already shipped out and consumed by consumers when the government makes an announcement like “oh, by the way, such and such beef was contaminated with cesium but it was already distributed and consumed, don’t worry there would be no immediate problem to health…”
In some cases, they’ve found even school lunches in Tokyo nursery and elementary schools as well as baby formula were contaminated with Fukushima radioactive fallout.
Japanese government again began publishing sample inspection results, but their sampling methods cannot be trusted. For example, when testing beef, they initially tested the radiation only on the cow hide and determined the meat safe. It did not even occur to them that they needed a different testing for beef.
This naturally calls attention to water supply safety. Again, their only action was post-event measurements publication. The man-made world’s largest lake that supposed to supply water to Tokyo metropolitan area is already contaminated. Most people in Japan use bottled water and even that is questionable because no manufacturer is willing to publish their water quality data or source information.
I’ve heard that a US sport team (most teenagers and young adults) used imported bottled water for showering when they had a meet in Tokyo several months ago. A German opera group is bringing all of their food and water supply from Germany to perform in Tokyo.
Many Japanese who only read officially published announcements and news are adamant to stress the safety of Japanese produce and water, saying things like “this passed the government standard” or “the level [of contamination] was within the standard.” What they are not telling you (or perhaps they do not know) is that Japanese government has raised the maximum permissible radiation contamination level for food and beverage by 20 to 100 times of what was before 3-11-2011. Currently the Japanese standard is higher than that is being used for Chernobyl restricted area, according to a Belarus doctor who visited Fukushima . Japanese government lately promoted Shizuoka green tea in New York, stressing its safety (meaning the tea passed the Japanese standard). But in reality, none of Shizuoka green tea and many food and beverage items from Japan can meet the U.S. standard.
There is also a misconception about low dose radioactive contamination. Some people try to convince you that a food is safe because the contamination level is low. Obviously they did not pay attention in the high school science class. Even at low radiation level, internal exposure is highly dangerous. The level that your whole body might tolerate can easily kill or damage your internal organs and cells that make up them.
If you go to Japan now or for the next couple of years, it is inevitable that you will have some degrees of internal radiation exposure because it is impossible not to breathe air, consume food or drinks, or take showers with tap water while you are there no matter how short your stay may be.
I would assume that any airplanes leaving Japan would be re-stoked with such local tap water and food.
5. Japanese government did nothing to protect its citizen from nuclear fallout. The government has a super computer called SPEEDI that can forecast the direction and levels of nuclear particle movement in case of an emergency like Fukushima. The government had data from this computer shortly after the earthquake and tsunami hit, but they did not share the findings with the residents of Fukushima and surrounding area until many months later. As a result, many people who lived near the Fukushima nuclear plant evacuated to a city called Iidate, falsely believing that is far enough and safe. The SPEEDI forecast accurately, back in March, that the radioactive fallout would most likely concentrate in Iidate. Those who evacuated to Iidate unknowingly got extra high doses of radioactive contamination as a result.
Even now, much wider areas of Fukushima prefecture should be evacuated, including its capital, but neither the central or local government of Japan is willing to protect even the babies, school children, pregnant women, and women of child-bearing ages who live in those high radiation areas. Without governmental logistic and financial help, many have no means to relocate to a safer location.
The Japanese government and tourism agencies are currently spending millions of dollars and political arm breaking to convince the world that Japan is safe, back to normal, come visit the country. But based on their track record of how they are handling their own citizens, you can bet they have very little concern for the safety of tourists, especially foreign tourists, in terms of the current situation of radioactive contamination all over Japan (that is worsening due to the debris buring).
If another emergency like Fukushima happens (it is conceivable for Japan to have another big earthquakes in the same region), the government and tourism agencies would most likely spend many months and money again trying convince the world that there is no nuclear danger whatsoever, just like they did in back March 2011 and are doing now --- even as they have admitted that they have no clue as to the location and status of the melted through nuclear materials in three reactors!
Radiation is invisible, you cannot smell it, you cannot see it or feel it. So, things may appear normal and everything in cities may be functioning. But any levels of exposure can increase your future risk of developing cancer, tumors, even heart alignments. It may not happen right away, but you will be many times more likely to develop serious health problems in the coming years.
People who say it is safe (radiation in Japan) are not paying attention to the latest reports by various reputable scientists and governments (Japan, US, European countries, etc.) or perhaps they do not understand the nature of radiation, or they may have some financial ties with Japanese government.
If you do not have an absolutely urgent need to travel to Japan, do not go, or try to minimize the stay within Japan.

only tony is stupid but if you sum up all the opps party supporters are are also stupid then you are no different from tony he also like to use a few unreliable information and start to give his own conclusions
Bro, you are definitely not wrong on this one. I already am aware of cases of miscarriages in HK from people going on cheap TKY tours, a few cases of refraining from getting pregnant for a while after going to Tokyo, relatives of friends who work in radioactive waste disposal in Japan telling them to leave Japan. Post 3-11, the numnber of Japanese migrating to SE Asia has increased significantly. When Daiichi blew in 2011, many foreign governments and investment banks ask their nationals to evacuate as the sensors did pick up the large radiation outbreak. Some of these foreign nationals have quit Tokyo to be employed in Singapore, with their Japanese wives.
Hahahahaha doc Helen caldicott ? Check out how people talk about her
again from unreliable information Helen Caldicott confronts her critics without resorting to reason http://nucleargreen.blogspot.sg/2007/12/helen-caldicotts-reign-of-error.html?m=1
