Is it safe to visit Fukushima?
Many people are still very hesitant about visiting the Fukushima area as they think it is still unsafe and they may be exposed to high levels of radiation. But is it safe to visit the area now? The answer is yes. The radiation levels differ a bit depending on where you are, but overall the area is safe with normal levels of radiation. There are ongoing decontamination efforts being carried out throughout the affected areas(taking the top layers of soil out, removing the fallen leaves and brush that was there during the accident, etc.) which has helped in a huge way in lowering the radiation levels and making it safe to live in each area again.
Fukushima Exclusion Zone
The Fukushima Exclusion Zone is now a very small area on the coastal area of Fukushima prefecture. It is about 200-250 km away from Tokyo and it takes about 7 hours to get there by car. The evacuation-designated areas make up a very tiny part of Fukushima Prefecture(only 2.7% of the whole prefecture), but the prefecture as a whole has gotten a negative reputation worldwide from the nuclear accident.
