We are prepared for some delays with trains and possible blackouts and of course we will be sensitive to the Japanese people and try and not be a burden (will concerve energy in our hotels etc). We had friends who arrived yesterday and they said Tokyo was doing ok, they did have a little trouble getting into the centre from the airport but they said that shops were open, restaurants were serving food and so on so that is reasurring, im glad we can still inject some of our money into the economy and help out that way 
Of course we will reconsider our plans if more happens with the nuclea plans, but we are not going for another 4 weeks and as it stands as of today we are still heading over there, It breaks my heart that this has happened to the Japanese ppl (anyone for that matter), I pray nothing further happens and that everyone can stay safe.
Has anyone NOT cancelled their trip and still going over espite warnings??
Just thought I would add my thought |
I'm going from the 27th april - 14th may and have no intention of cancelling. have heard alot of mixed opinions on whether or not travel to tokyo will be olay then, but I'm hoping it will be.
we're in tokyo and below the whole trip (hiroshima, kyoto, osaka) so as long as trains are back up and running (which im hoping is likely within the next 6 weeks) I'm hoping it'll be fine.
