I think this is the best forum to ask questions, since most of you are Japan based and know what things are like in Japan right now....
I am scheduled to fly into NGO on the 18th and NRT-EWR on the 22nd... I will be spending most of my time in Kyoto/Kyodo, so do you think it should be okay? I know North Japan is in a bad shape right now after the tsunami, but what about central to south Japan?
Continental will not waive any changes fees, because I am going there after the 15th...

I decided not to go to Japan now, at least until the nuclear problem is solved.
According to the news media, it does not affect the human body if we stay away more than 30 KM, but everyday, they said something diffferent and something new.
Moreover, a lot of my friends and clients came to Hawaii for the last two days, especially family with kids(some private schools have been closed until April).
I will wait and see, but I decided to donate air fare money to one of the relief fund.

I would not trust anything the media, especially western media, says. They are not interested in reporting the news. They are only interested in generating headlines that will make them money. Most of what they are saying is sensationalist.

Situation at Fukushima nuclear plant
UK Government's Chief Scientific Officer comments on the developments following the explosion at Fukushima nuclear plant

Seemingly reasonable, though I'm not an expert on the matter.

My decision was based on the report/comments by Prime minister Mr. kan
, Kanbo Mr. Edano
^, and unorganized Toden employees( it seems they are so tired and depressed), and especially daily and hourly changing events and facts?( are the facts are truely facts?).I wish I could trust the current Japanese Government and their leadership.
However, it has been impossible.
It is said by japanese media that we are safe if we are away from the plants.
But we heard - we did not expect it, we did not think about it, we did not dream of it, we have never erxperienced it .......
Still, I strongly and sincerely hope Toden/Japanese military force/ and others to manage the problem as soon as they can.
I hope Japanese who suffered by Earthquake and Tsunami can see and enjoy the SAKURA this spring.
By the way, my wife is a travel agent and 80% of her clients cancelled the trip to Japan.
