If you are planning on travel to Tokyo very soon, I would consider delaying my trip.
I hope people in Japan can confirm what I am seeing and give more informed advice for those that might want to go to Tokyo or places further north... or are these issues also seen in other big cities?

Tokyo Electric is scheduling blackouts that is why some Train line did not operate for the whole day. I use Odakyu Line and it did not operate the whole day yesterday. I could not go to work. Today it seems that it will only operate on rush hour. Trains within Tokyo are operating but lots of them are late.
Yes I recommend postponing travel to Japan right now. Maybe in Kansai area is OK. But Kanto is a bit difficult. It is also difficult to find nice restaurant opening and getting some supplies now.
