    What are peoples thoughts about travelling to Japan this september? specifically the areas of Tokyo, Aomori and Otaru. I know we are not able to predict the future but i wonder will it be okay/ safe to travel there in September?

    OP

    While I imagine the main focus of your concern about when to travel is on events in Fukushima, I would point out that September is the peak of the typhoon season in Japan.
    If you could hold off until mid/late October, you should get much nicer autumnal weather.

    I know someone who is flying to Tokyo tomorrow. She had booked her flights a long time ago and was reluctant to just let them go. As she will be CouchSurfing, she got in touch with locals. Turns out, they are quite relaxed about the whole situation. So unless you are planning to travel directly into the disaster zone, you are likely to find that things in Japan are as always and tourists are as welcome as ever.

    I have friends there (used to live there) and they say that the things are business as usual if you aren't in the east honshu. I think there are still power cuts in parts of Tokyo but as the poster said above, they aren't half as panicked over the hole thing as the West seems to be.
