While the JNTO (Japan National Tourism Organization) recommends one to check the news for the latest on the quake, they don't outright warn people not to go to Japan. I have seen news on MSNBC.com that states the U.S. and the U.K. are warning tourists not to go there and the French government is actually advising French nationals to leave the country as soon as possible. I don't know if any of these reports are factual and if they are if they are in any way related to the possible nuclear fallout that may occur if things worsen in Fukushima Daichi and Daini.

Has anyone else seen or read about these reports? Common sense dictates not to go there for a while just so one doesn't become a burden. I know the government will start an advertizing campaign when it thinks it's ready to allow tourists to begin visiting the affected areas. I know it's going to take a long time for that to happen.
