Is it safe to visit Japan?
That depends on whom you ask and what areas of Japan you’re talking about.

As of March 30, 2011 the U.S. State Department still advised people to defer non-essential travel to a number of regions beyond just the area of the earthquake, tsunami and radiation crisis, including Tokyo and Yokohama.
Other popular destinations, such as Kyoto, Okinawa and Osaka, are “outside the regions of concern,” according to the State Department’s warning. (For an updated alert, go to the State Department's web site.)
On the other hand, experts tell WebMD that they would not hesitate to travel to areas of Japan outside the disaster zone.
“I was supposed to go to Japan next month, but the meeting was cancelled because the organizers understandably have other things to do,” Williams (radiation biologist Jacqueline P. Williams, PhD, tells WebMD. Williams is a researcher in the department of radiation oncology at the University of Rochester, N.Y.) says. “But I was perfectly happy to go, and I’m a bit sad that I’m not because I’ve never been to Japan. I would be absolutely fine to go.”
